This will ease the pain http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/post-office-currently-offering-free-bt-openreach-landline-installation-rrp-112-34-1190310 only a 1 month contract.
The Post Office is relying heavily on customer inertia with that deal.
Yep, I can see a big influx, then 30 days later, last one out shut the door.
Meanwhile, management will be wondering where they went wrong.
Isn't the service actually provided by BT Retail?
If you look at the small print T&C's for this 'deal', I believe there is a financial penality if you decide to cancel within the first six months. (Something about them recovering their costs).
They'd be crazy if there wasn't, JB.
Penalty seems to be £15, also nice to see inactive posting there about idnet :)
I'll second that. :thumb:
Question is, do they install it or just put it through the letterbox ;D

Good job its not the Royal Mail doing installations, they would connect ours to the wrong house/town I bet.
Subject raises an interesting scenario!
My property is direct to the exchange hence no FTTC.
If I order another line could I request it is connected to a cabinet around 200 mtrs away?
I don't think you can request any specific routing, it's up to Openreach.

This has been discussed on ThinkBroadband recently, Rick. They would use a spare pair in the existing cable, a change to the cabinet would generally be at your expense, ie thousands of pounds. :(
Rick, my brother (he lives just down the road from you, opposite Sanctuary Lane), has been told he should be getting FTTP later this year, he has a direct line line too.

That would require more than 2 seconds worth of coherent thought though. Could they manage that between them? :whistle:
Not all at once, no. ;)
