Hi,

I'm trying to get fibre set up in my new build apartment however Plusnet want £50. Anyway I can do it myself? There is a master socket and another socket already installed? I'm guessing it just needs activating??

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! 👍

How insightful! You did waffle on a bit however...

Genally for a first phone line connection on a new build theyve already installed it and want you to pay for it retrospectively and wont connect you if you dont.

If it’s only £50 and the fact it’s plusnet it’s probably FTTC not FTTP and therefore the fibre element is actually at the cabinet rather than at your home.

currently FTTP can’t be provided (nationally) by anyone other than BT or Zen plus a couple of very small localised providers in specific locations - unless this has changed in the past 6mths since our FTTP line was connected up.
