If you are new to the forum then welcome to the Community which is predominantly made up of Sky customers helping other Sky customers. You aren’t actually talking to Sky by posting on here.

What have Sky said about the delay? Outside work needing to be completed first is a possibility.

I phoned and was told they didn't know why it was such a wait time was just told an engineer will come to my house on the date given

@Nel1444  Is this a full install of fibre broadband? Is there outside work that needs done first?

[Nel1444]

Yeah full fibre installation. I'm not sure if work outside needs to be done 

[Highlinder]

@Nel1444  You can look on your order it will tell you what next steps are, once that work is done then the order goes to the next part of the install.

Just says waiting on engineers visit which isn't until 30th October

@Nel1444 generally the longer delays are on jobs that require some preparation work. This isnt that unusual if the supply is underground and can involve a number of steps. You can get an ideacif you enter your full address into this checker Openreach Checker
