Right a couple of points here, granted a lot of the cabs may well be left open by contractors, but i think you may well find the reason for this been nothing to do with install quota, i for one never had a problem with the quota we were given, if anything there was not enough work around, the problem is that a lot of the cabs have to be broken into by the installers/contractors as they are not provided with enough cab keys for the number of installers that they have. Perfect example i went down to Stevnage for a while on service, saw the NTL service manager for that area (employed directly) was given a route of work, but when i asked for cab keys and alike the response was, "Got a screw driver aint ya?" Getting a little sick of all NTL's install problems been blamed on contractors.
