Thanks to the two engineers from "our favourite telco" (saying originally from RevK), they were not able to find my cables in, and began ordering a survey and a new feed laid through the pavement.
Fortunately, that night, we discovered the entrance way's of our's and next door's house were added on afterwards, and the builder who did it, decided to plaster in the telephone cables, and ditch the box. Very insightful, anyway some exploration later, my father and myself found the missing cables, and after several phone calls and screw ups, I got at least one of my new lines installed. A full week later when my other new Broadband provider who also took a while longer than expected to install Broadband.
This lead to I'm sure a very strange occurrence on our street, or indeed any street, the meeting of the rivals.... I snapped this while they were both here, and no I didn't ask them to park that way round, with the Virgin van's "Near Miss?" in view of the camera... that... is just fate.
Our fav telco will be back this Wednesday to put the second line in... because of course they couldn't put two in, side by side, at the same time. Particularly not when the engineer spend enough time just getting a new 66 junction box, Virgin practically installed cable while he was still looking!
He won't have much to do, literally the cables are there waiting, just need the master NTE and of course the line patching through.
You maybe wondering... "why?", well firstly these are currently just BT phones lines going in, I'll be sorting out Broadband down them through another provider, as for the cable, well it's a fall back, and I intend to use it for personal use during the weekdays. I've got a specialist router, which I'm learning to handle multiple WANs/ISPs, probably more on that later.
