As for contractors only getting easy jobs??
Easy compared to installs that Openreach engineers get? Absolutely. I didn't mean they were easy jobs though.

Openreach engineers get complex installs, where the system thinks there is likely to be an underground fault and that the line isn't going to be getting to the DP. Openreach engineers also get FTTC installs where the test system has identified a fault existing on the line, contractors don't get those jobs.

So yes, the installs that contractors get are without a doubt easier by their very nature as the tricky ones are sifted out.
