What can I say, today I finally got a fibre connection. It has taken 18months but today it happened. They came and finally connected the fibre up. You really don’t want to see the pictures of the cabling outside the house! I will post those as a separate video later. Anyway today I got my connection. Not at the speed I paid for, but hey, 8mb is a good start. Apparently the 16mb will come later when they switch me over fully… It took two weeks, which is probably pretty good since I have been trying for 18months. But there were some interesting fiascos in there. My cable looks good inside the house but when it gets outside it looks decidedly gnarly. Suffice to say it circumnavigates the house attaching to the walls in a precarious manner, then disappears across the neighbours property only to turn up in an alley, then descend into an open conduit in the sandy ground, all exposed to the elements and local fauna… I don’t think it will last the distance, but then will I? At least it is going! For the moment. Wish me luck.
