We Got Fiber
The appointment was between 10:00 - 16:00 he arrived 10:15 and got straight to work, I did help him out a couple of times. He struggled to get a good footing on his ladder so I held it for him, then he couldn't get through our stone wall Luckily I still had my monster SDS hammer drill in the shed and after half an hour he managed to get through.
All in it took him around three hours and he even set the box up (which wasn't on his job to do) I fired up my laptop and it was like watching Star Trek at warp speed in fast motion, he laughed at my reaction.
I just ran a test. Every Sunday I take a download of my server just in case we ever loose our host, it usually takes around 1/2 hour and I have to make sure no other internet equipment is running. I just took a download with the kitchen laptop playing music, Mrs Fred paying a game on her tablet and it came in at just under 45 seconds.
The landline phone no longer works correctly as it doesn't ring but just goes straight to answerphone, I don't mind that as it was our original dail-up one and it never rings these days. So I'll put up with that as I've set it up that the internet box will send me an email with the callers number and an mp3 I can listen to.
My complaint to the English line mus have worked.
Happy days
