Guys,
I work for virgin media, and can say that trying to get offnet to my property on kingsmead is like getting blood from a stone.
ordered bt to install new line mid feb, Saturday 23rd was the engineer visit no one turned up.
visit was re-sched to 11th march, had a call from bt day before saying no one would turn up, thought great lets have a long weekend, they turned up!.
was further re-sched to Friday 5th april, they cancelled it again.
was then re-sched to 22nd april, so I book time off work and get a text this morning saying its been put forward to the 1st may, almost 3 months after I placed the order, all I want is a phone line and broadband no matter what speed it is.
I can add that kings cliffe is not on the 2013 build list for fibre optic according to the Ofcom stats.
from what I hear there is not enough demand in the area for fibre optic, even if there was the exchange would not be able to handle nor would the exchange at wansford. it would have to come from Stamford Peterborough or corby.
you may see vtessee or mgm running ducts through the village making a right mess of the roads and pavements, I don't know what this is for, I have heard its for a building society link from Peterborough to corby, whether or not this is true I do not know.
has anyone had a successful line installed the past 2 months?
I know the new estate on wood road has.
