just to clarify - the socket HAS been removed. I can provide updated photos if required? So don't exhaust the rolley eyes just yetthat's why you were told to take the socket off, so their line test fails and they do need to send someone. we're not just all rolly eyes and tutting after all lol
It has changed earlier this year - self installs are now allowed. Not all ISPs offer it though - some still do a managed install.Unless things have changed very recently they have to send someone out for the "fiber" (really FTTC) install anyway.
Side note- on the application form I said I wasn't living at the address. They're sending out the hub in a couple week but it seems like it'll be going to the house. Not good since I told them I'm not living there.
I hope it isn't needed for the engineers visit. Will call BT to see if they'll drop it off at my current address instead.
It could well be - you'd better remove it and seal up the outside hole ASAP Snip the loose ends off, but don't use your best wire cutters as there maybe some steel tension members in the cable.I wonder if this wiring is cause of the damp on that section of the wall. It's about the right level & there's no drip loop on the outside - it just feeds straight in...
That's a surprise then. The hub itself i can see fitting, if it's anything like the netgear ones i've had, but the packaging too?
Additionally, the BT Home Hub 5 will keep the brilliant features introduced in BT Home Hub 4, including Smart Dual-Band technology, Smart Setup and a great new design that fits through most letterboxes* as well as a processor that is 3 times faster than other most common wireless routers.
*If you select a tracked or next day delivery service, courier may not be able to post the BT Home Hub 4 through your letterbox
