Yeah, this is the situations I really feel bad for, if you have your copper line removed you are then totally at the mercy of a successful provision the same day, otherwise like most households these days you are screwed. Blooming everything uses the internet these days.
I am only currenly on day 3 of no FTTP activation because there is a 'Light Issue' for my new 900Mbps service, I am lucky however, I left my existing Virgin Media cable in place, I feared there would be issues with a brand new provision so nothing has changed.
I too doubt itll be fixed soon, Christmas about to happen so Openreach have a ton of folks on leave (like most companies) whilst also there are all the bank holidays so your 'working days' SLA is kinda stetched out.
To be honest I think this is on Openreach, ive seen so many reports of this type of thing now, the ISPs have very little to do with the provision of FTTP and Openreach, they just sell it and are your go between, your fibre equipment in your home and exchange is all Openreach's responsibility I think.
Openreach said they were ready on the 28th of September in my area, I am the first customer to order for a 19th December install date, a subcontractor did the work and not Openreach and there is a fault on the fibre line somewhere. If you ask me clearly Openreach are not ready and perhaps are over stretched and Vodafone cant do alot to solve it other than offer a few quid.
