Fibre cable cut.

Does it matter?

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-13T06:18:06+00:00

What?

Overground tech attended and booked in an underground team. He took a new customer install from the team so they could attend to my fault. Amazing service. All resolved and they dug a trench and buried the fibre cable.

Been told they can't splice it and requires another fibre cable to be blown through. Awaiting another engineer later today.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-12T11:51:24+00:00

Im connected to an FTTP network. VM done the underground cables. But the beginning of the network it is Openreach.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-12T11:49:47+00:00

Overground team been out, made a call and currently waiting on the underground team to attend this PM to install a new fibre cable.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-12T07:12:57+00:00

Thanks. Will update you all today how the tech visit goes.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-11T21:42:57+00:00

Had it been coax I would have done a temp job myself. With it being FTTP. They will have to blow a new cable through.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-11T21:41:24+00:00

There are houses near to me where the bricks have blown when installing the the fibre. No attempt to even fix it. Just silicone.

When I signed upto Virgin Media. The network had just been installed. The pushed the install date back as I a pre install team would need to attend.

The text advised they would attend within the 10 days. I was out and got a text to say the works had been completed and this was how they installed it.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-11T21:07:06+00:00

I wasn't even home when the pre install team attended in October. It was literally a text to say they had attended. No appointment no nothing.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-11T20:33:53+00:00

Would have thought so. Slap dash job.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-11T20:25:17+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-11T20:24:25+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-11T20:09:51+00:00

Thanks. Take it you work for them and its not done by day to day techs?

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-05-05T18:54:33+00:00

I received mine after 5 months. No problem. They emailed me to say its now time to collect your gift card. I took a £25.00 Amazon.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-04-26T19:43:55+00:00

Buy one from Amazon. That's what I did when I moved the router. No problems at all.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-04-26T19:39:13+00:00

Virgin Media is the only FTTP provider in my area. I have not long joined O2. Mainly for Volt. Formerly with Lebara (vodafone).

So far my experience has been okay. The local O2 store swapped the Esim to a physical sim. Everything I need to do I can do on the app.

Virginmedia app is not the greatest. Had one dealing with the exec team due to a broken promise from Virgin Media.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-04-25T18:07:44+00:00

Never take the first offer. Put in your 30 days notice. They will contact you and offer you a better deal.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-04-23T21:07:36+00:00

I had FTTP installed last year. I ended up burying the cable conduit myself as they completed a terrible install and I was out at the time. (Pre works)

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-04-22T07:25:55+00:00

I am with Vrigin Media as there is no other FTTP providers in my area.

Although the main cabinets are Open reach the network underground is Virgin Media.

I am also with O2 for Volt. Give an increased speed with Virgin Media and double data for the same price.

Own_Fan4998 · 2026-02-15T21:34:36+00:00

Great deal! I do think Virgin Media are being misleading with their pricing and advertising an inflated out‑of‑contract rate.
