Who was the ISP? A lot of the outcome depends on your service contract.

As for fibre we had the same problem and it wasn’t openreach. Local NIMBY had to snuff it before they could get planning permission for the box. I actually attended the planning meeting and I was fighting people twice my age who didn’t know what the internet even was.

There's no box - there's ductwork between me and the exchange.

Business or residential? I’m on their business. Don’t expect them to piss on you if you’re on fire unless you have a business contract.

Irrelevant to the incompetence of Openreach staff. But no, it's not business because, again, that won't fix their dumpster fire infrastructure or bargain basement staff. Some of whom are, not remotely by my choice, family members.

They send different people out I think. I had a vast improvement in competence since I got a business contract.

But yes they do employ some complete idiots. I had one literally run away and get into his van and drive off after he bust my limping ADSL in 2013. I got an apologetic engineer phone me shortly afterwards to explain. I will give them their due though because it turned out they’d run out of pairs in the street and I had a bad one. For this they actually had to stick a new 400m trunk cable in which took a week to sort out.
