New phone line- can I ask to be connected to speci...

The cul de sac I live on has 46 properties, 20 of which are new builds ( 6yo ) and these new builds have their own small BT cabinet,(mine is one of these new builds).
The existing houses on the street are connected to a cab which has just had a new FTTC cab installed next to it, the cab for the new builds isn't getting fibre, obviously it is uneconomical for just 20 houses.
My house is the last new build property at the end of the cul de sac and next door to me is one more existing old property which is connected to the 'FTTC' cab. If I got a new line installed could I ask to be connected to the 'FTTC' cab? If my next door neighbour is, is there any reason why I can't be either? I can see this cab from my front window and it is only 100 yards away. I'd be prepared to pay for any costs involved.
Any advice greatly appreciated!

I've not seen a PCP like that in all the time I have been working in them but then again you do get different types of PCP's in different area's.
All the ones where I live a either Krone, Strips Cross Connection or Quante, we don't have any Bix, Mox or PC100.
Anyway, usually an SCP will be linked to one specific PCP, hence it will have the PCP number on it followed by the number SCP, i.e. PCP 54 and SCP 54/1 or if there is a second SCP 54/2 and so on.
But then again it could be an SCP because different Openreach work patches seem to run things there own way, not a universal Openreach way you think there would be.

  • How long does a new phone line take to fit? Patien...

    I ordered a new phone line in April and was given a date of 1st May 2013 for the engineer to call.
    Having booked a day off work for the 1st May I got a text the evening before to advise that extra work was required on the lines outside my home and that they would be in touch soon. On 17th May I got another text to advise that my order for telephone and broadband had been CANCELLED. I phoned and a new order was placed (with a half-hearted apologies for the incorrect cancellation).
    Text: 20th May. Apologies for the delay in booking an appointment.
    Text 21st May: BT here. Your phone service is ready for you. You can find a phone's number by calling 17070 from it.
    I did not not have a phione line.
    Text: 30th May. To advise a new number.
    Text: 30th May: Apologies for the delay in booking an appointment. Due to necessary additional engineering work. Next update will be 6th June.
    Text: 5th June: BT here. Just to confirm you've set up online billing with BT, If you didn't please let us know at ... I didn't set anything up as far as I know.
    6th June:  Apologies for the delay in providing your service. No updates. Escalated the lack of infpormation and hope to have more news tomorrow.
    7th June:  Apologies for the delay on your order. I can confirm that we are awaiting the outcome of our escalation with our suppliers and are confident of haveing (sp) and (sp) update for you on 11/6.
    Now, I am quite a patient person but I need a landline. I live 60 metres or so from a Post Office and even less from a main road. I can see a telephone pole from my back garden just 50 metres away. My neighbours have landlines. Why can't I have one?

  • Worst Customer Service Installing New Phone Line

    I am experiencing the worst customer service i've ever dealt with. First it took 3attempts to set up a home phone line. Verizon scheduled me between 8am-12pm the first time and came around 2:30, no one was there. Second time we scheduled between 12p-4p, they came around 8:30am. No one was there. Then they wanted to schedule again 5 days later. I wasn't having it, so they schedule next day (Sat) between 8am-12pm. Finally a technician came. He installed a new phone line. I needed this line for my son who was coming home on house arrest. All of this was explained to Verizon. The longer it took them to install the line, the longer he would be in jail. After the line was installed, my son came home on Friday, 7/3. Some time on Sat 7/4 The line stopped working, and 1am he was re-arrested because there was no phone service.Today is the 9th and still there is no service. I sat in my cvar this morning from 7:45am to 1:15 pm waiting for a technician who was supposed to be there between 8am-12pm. After numerous clls to Verizon, and numerous promises to call me back, no one ever called back, and the phone is still not on. I have never had a customer service experience as bad as this EVER! I am so glad I have my wireless with Sprint. I have Verizon FIOS at my home in Jersey, but this phone is in Philly. To top it off, one Verizon employee tells me today that The house arrest equipment doesn't work with fiber optics. Why wasn't I told this when I first ordered the service? I'm still waiting for a Verizon Supervisor to call. My last call, i was conviently disconnected while being transferred to a supervisor. Because of Verizon's no care attitude, now it will probably take another week before my son is released again.

    Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. The message is more threatening than what really happens.

  • Cost of new phone line for BT Basic customers

    I have ordered a new phone line for my 92 year old mother who is moving sheltered housing flats.  She will be charged £130 for the new line because a) there is not an existing line to take over and b) she is a BT Basic customer.  These customers are discriminated against as they are on low income and seem to be the only type of customer that is charged this fee.  Also because it  is just a phone line ie no broadband etc she will be 10 days with no phone and her mobile does not work inside her new flat.  She is a very vulnerable person and again seems to be discriminated against. Any one got any ideas?

    HI the 130.00 charge is made by Openreach for the work to install a new line this charge is made to all customers that need a new line installing for the first time there is no discrimination because you are a BT basic customer like wise the time scale is also the same for all customers it depends on the availability of an engineer to carry out the work

  • New phone line and broadband

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I am due to move into a flat on the 4th of June, at the moment the flat does not have a phoneline though i checked on the BT website and at least one of the others do have one.
    I would like to order a BT line installation with BT option 3 broadband, someone told me that it will cost £50 if i order both of these at the same time, however i can't find on the website link where to do it, the site just assumes i already have a phone line installed, Can someone point me in the right direction?

  • Moving into a flat/new phone line

    Hi, I'm moving into a flat on the 23rd April, and the people before are leaving on the 18th April.
    There was a BT wall socket already in place which I noticed when we viewed it. Is there anyway I can check what I will need to do to have a phone line active by the time we have moved in?
    Thanks

  • 8 month wait for new phone line!!!!!

    I posted on here a while ago '5 month wait for phone line' and I cannot actually believe that I am almost at 8 months of waiting for a phone line to be installed!!
    Reason: Openreach are having traffic management issues for a four way traffic light system needed for my phone line, this has been the reason since JULY 2013!!!!
    My local council have told me this is just an excuse as Openreach/BT have not made any requests to them in my area or the entire of Anglesey where I live!!!
    I get updates from a BT team in Sunderland which are very repetitive 'traffic light problems' cannot get permission for them blah blAH BLAH!!! And they accept these excuses from Openreach!!! They can give me no indication as to when I will get a phone line and when I say what happens when we get to year point they say oh no that will never happen!! This BT team now only text me updates saying they could not get through to my mobile, they say they will update me on the 19th December but it will be the same old **bleep**.
    So now I am am drafting a letter which will include all the correspondence between BT and myself including all the false information they have texted me and stupid emails (one said there are major problems in Cornwall so thats is why there is a delay I asked whats Cornwall got to do with anything I live in North Wales, the BT guy then said Cornwall is the term used to refer to a large area??? He later apologised for his error, but what an idiot)
    My letter will also be sent to BT head office, complaints and the my local MP, BBC Watchdog and various other local consumer affairs programmes.
    But any extra advice would be greatly appreciated.....
    HAnnah Hughes

    He was the one who made the Cornwall comments!! All he did was relay extra information in more detail than the BT operators were giving me, but he had no authority to do anything. It has been escalated but this wonderful escalation team are doing nothing at all, other than accepting Openreach excuses.
    Some of my text messages say " we are waiting for council permission", then the next one says "Openreach have had council permission" but the latest ones are back to "Openreach are waiting for council permission"!!!! You would think that someone in BT would pick up on this!!!
    BT will not give me the location of the work needed either they say Opnereach do not have this one thier system, because the council keep telling me that no permission has been requested.
