If you have a helpful ISP they could put some instructions in their order to Openreach. Most likely it'll be down to getting in contact with the OR enginer on the ground at the day of install and having a conversation with them before they start work. Most are helpful and want to do a good job.

Was in the Brompton shop, picked up a new T Line electric with the battery. Way lighter than my M6R but six grand 😬

The message about wearing a mask when you yourself are infectious never appeared to cut through the selfish message about wearing a mask as protection from others. Says a lot about our society 😬

I guess they designate as grey belt as near two motorways and a huge junction and the next application says grey belt as next to an existing data centre campus, and so on... 😬

I bet Biff Bean and the few complaining constituents already have a good broadband service and aren't impacted by this in the slightest.

They can object all they like, then rescind any rights to complain about lack of broadband services.
