My seventh day of total service loss. Just been given cable repull date of 04\04. That would be over three weeks total loss and presumably absolutely nothing I can do about it
any suggestions most welcome .

Apart from the agreed automatic compensation deal, no. I believe its £8 a day after the first 48 hours full loss..

Cables don't usually just fail, so this could be a duct collapse requiring construction work.

Hi Ramrob
Sorry to hear this
Did you have an engineer booked to come out today as well at the same time as your neighbour

14 ( fourteen ) days total loss of service now . No I did not have an engineer booked. I just saw them literally outside my house and they did not even attempt to fix it.

Hi Ramrob,
Thank you for reaching back out, we are sorry to see your services are still down and that you are waiting for a cable re-pull, I was able to locate you on our system and can see there is a technician booked for the re-pull, if you do need to reschedule this for any reason or just check, this can be done Via your online account, in regards to any loss of service credits this would be added Via our Auto Compensation once this has been fixed.
Apologies again for any inconvenience caused.
Regards
Paul.
