YIPPPIE am well excited about installation date tomorrow. Hopefully all runs smooth. Been reading this forum and with all the bad comments from some people it starting to make we stressed out thinking that they might not turn up or might do a ***k up of a job.

but hey holding thumbs and if all runs smoothly I will defiantly get a lotto ticket for saturday cus it was my lucky day.

P.S SO FAR SO GOOD.

Good luck and let us know how it goes

Moved to ntl billing & Installation

The majority of installs do go as planned, painlessly. It must be remembered that the majority will remain silent when content, but if they have a problem they will shout about it. Hence we always hear more negative than positive report.

My last install went perfectly

He was only slightly confused when he asked where my TV was - but when I turned on my pc and showed him that I was going to use that he was ok.... And he never had a problem with the broadband.

My broadband install was a strange beast.

The installer came round and didnt cut the co-ax cable correctly, so I had to call services to get him to come back out and do it again as the modem couldnt synch.

I also mentioned that as well as not working, the cable was too short (he left me about 6 or 7 feet). I arranged for the guy to come while I was at work and let the GF take care of him.

I get home and the guy has left a good 40 or 50 feet of co-ax cable underneath my PC desk. Ive got enough to litterally use the modem in my neighbours bedroom.

LOL
Sounds like fun. I guess you wont have any problems if you ever need to relocate your connection then.
Hope everything is working well for you, and welcome to the forum

1 hour and 45 mins till I finallly reach the PM window of opportunity. thanks guys for the support.

Be brave young Funkycable we are with you

Not had any real problems with any of the installations the engineers performed (either at current address or previous one). The only slight annoyance was that they tried to be too helpful and modified an existing BT junction box that was already there, so that we'd not have an unused BT one and the NTL one. When we ditched NTL for BT, however, this caused problems and BT had to send an engineer round to tidy it all up. BT said NTL weren't within their rights to modify their hardware, but I can understand why they did it, and they were trying to help after all.

Billing dept, however, cause me to have nightmares! But as long as I continue to take my pills, everything's fine

Chris W · 28-08-2005, 12:53

Jules · 28-08-2005, 21:11

YEahhh!! AND if I had a quid for every time BT had gone & used our wiring & fittings instead of installing new ones,i'd be on to a winner!! Bet the BT engineer does it himself & was p**** off as he had to do a bit of work!!!!!

Stuart · 28-08-2005, 23:53

Because, of course, BT never take shortcuts when fitting a new phone..
