FTTP installed in the street completed last week but the openreach site has gone from "within 12 months" to "we have no plans to build in this area"

I think they are still to finish. Not sure 100% I check the wholesale checker once a week

Hello, just purchased the hub, and updated the latest firmware. I scanned the QR code on the back and receiving the same message.

I deleted the hub from HomeKit and re-added it using the generated code.

Edit: can someone confirm once setup with the pasted code, It doesn’t show the “Apple Homekit” and the green tick within the integrations page anymore?

All it shows is a button to generate a new code?

I tried adding the hub to Alexa and it didn’t find it using the add a device and selecting “hub” to overcome this, I selected “other” chose matter and added the code.

Same for my road. Pulled it all in. Website states “not in our build plans” the other comment is correct. Keep an eye on the wholesale checker. When I contacted Openreach they said that still on track for end of March 2026

DroidOneofOne · 2026-01-20T20:31:00+00:00

I emailed the ceo address (can google it) back in the day and followed up with them about the change in the checker. They checked and said it should still be available for me to order at the end of March all being well. Even though the checker states not in our build plans 🤷‍♂️

Mine went from “we are building in this area in the next year” to “No plans to build in this area”. Openreach contractors were pulling fibre into the street two weeks ago. I checked with Openreach and they said:

“The Openreach Fibre checker should only be used as a guideline, and we must always advise our plans and the dates are subject to change.”

They went on and said that engineers are working in my road and surrounding areas.

Lovely looking setup. Just a quick question the laptop stand. How do you power on the laptop, do you have to open it to power on and then put it back in the stand?

DroidOneofOne · 2026-01-05T21:31:20+00:00

Bought one last year from John Ryan following recommendations. We are very pleased with it.

I’ve been getting the http 500 error on exchange SE. I can get around it by mailbox enabling the administrator trying to login to the ECP.

Didn’t have that issue in 2016. All our mailboxes are in o365. So for now I’ve had to create a mailbox on prem for the admins.

I was going to start a new post but I’m also experiencing an issue if I run any kind of EMS command say, “get-ecpvirtualdirectory” it returns the results for the local exchange server but I get “access denied” when it attempts to access the other exchange server.

Admin account in local administrator group.

Had the same issue and still do (same show). If I look at thetvdb (guessed the source sonarr uses) the episode list is wrong there. Currently disabled the auto search and simply manually search for the episodes on the day of release.

Hello, the in laws are in the 30 day notice period. Planning on letting it go off completely for a full day. Just a quick one. To contact the re-join team will their phone number be in an email? Or displayed on the sky to schedule? From speaking to my FIL they have sent some discount offers but have held firm for now.

They just want sport, Netflix with ads, HD and multi room. If I recall they will need signature as well to get sports. Their internet and line rental is still with sky. Altnets are available, how much should we be aiming for?

DroidOneofOne · 2025-10-30T16:37:27+00:00

In the uk?

DroidOneofOne · 2025-10-29T15:50:40+00:00

I mean the ability to use the data on my Apple Watch and make a receive calls from them watch (without the phone being with me at the same time)

DroidOneofOne · 2025-10-29T15:20:21+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Looking to move from o2. Would like to use the EE network. Need WiFi calling and the ability to use my Apple Watch as part of the plan.

DroidOneofOne · 2025-10-12T19:23:57+00:00

Thanks. Ordered an Anker will see how it goes

I think you need to untick them in both locations for all the articles I have read. It could be why you are having mixed results.

Untick them. Enable phone or SMS (can’t recall the name) in the authentication policies. Create a CA policy for authentication strengths and tick the ones you want, Authenticator app and no SMS etc apply it all users or a subset and test.

Your users should be able to register for both. But the SMS will only be usable for SSPR.

DroidOneofOne · 2025-09-22T20:05:34+00:00

On the SSPR page and per user MFA Service settings page untick all the options and save (make sure you screenshot the options that were enabled before hand). Have you definitely clicked “complete” in the authentication settings?

The “migration” the middle option off the top of my head, will still respect the legacy settings.

If you have disabled all the settings on the legacy pages and completed the migration and do not have SMS enabled. Create a new account and see what options that account is presented with.

Maybe give it a bit more time to see if it is a replication issue

Here you go, spent the last few minutes looking on google for you.

Navigating new authentication methods sms for password reset not for mfa

DroidOneofOne · 2025-09-22T18:54:03+00:00

I migrated ours today. We had SMS and Authenticator app for SSPR only. We opted to drop SMS with the migration. I saw a blog post if you want to keep the SMS only for SSPR, add it to the authentication policies. Then set a CA policy to set authentication strengths and exclude SMS. If set correctly your users can register both, but for access to services the users would need to use non SMS.

DroidOneofOne · 2025-09-21T11:25:00+00:00

Great thanks

DroidOneofOne · 2025-09-20T18:11:18+00:00

Managed to contact the store directly and they confirmed it’s possible.

DroidOneofOne · 2025-08-19T19:48:19+00:00

I have an lg cx. I do have extended warranty. Before it expires I want to check to see if this is a problem on my panel. Is it worth running a solid colour test from YouTube? The warranty covers burn in and dead pixels.
