What is 25 day tuenkey

[dvdcks4]

Am waiting on sky fiber being installed.   Rang as the date they offered does not suit me .  I asked could it not very completed before thae date and I was told that the hold up is due to a 25 day turnkey .. anyone know what this means as the guy  from Sky on the phone who I spoke to never heard of it

Not really sure what a turnkey is, maybe you misheard? There is a 14 day lead time for any broadband activation/install 

[dvdcks4]

It was  def Turnkey as the guy read it from my instalation notes ..he said there is a 25 day turnkey  ..I  said to the guy is that like buying a turnkey house ? .. he said sounds like it but never heard of it ..

@dvdcks4 I've seen that mentioned before on another forum(can't remember which one) and it was because a survey needed doing and it was being done by a 3rd party and not Openreach as would normally be the case.

If that is the reason then it's highly unlikely that you will get it done any quicker than the timescale quoted.

Many thanks for your reply ..  that makes more sense.. thanks

From a thinkbroadband forum post: ’turnkey’ is a phrase used by Openreach to signify that the work is to be done by a contractor rather than direct labour.

Thanks .. ..my goodness outside contractor sounds like they are going to dig up my drive lol ...

Well, if it's FTTP, that new optical fibre has got to get to you either overhead or underground...

[jamesn123]

Bit of an overcomplication that. Why dont Openreach just say 3rd party.

[Highlinder]

@jamesn123You know how much Openreach like to complicate things for everyone.

I have a very small garden to the front of my house and the telephone cables are housed  underground  on the footpath  right beside  my garden so  it should be handy enough for them to lay a cable..

Possibly a footway turnkey (still none the wiser) that requires a specialist team

 This is what it said ..

Sounds like the new NI civils team  subcontracting to KN Circet. 25 days being the turn round for whatever is planned. And seems to be terminology only used over here

I saw a van with 2 work guys at a house close to me this morning ..it said on the side of the van  KN Circet..    so my problem /  query has now been solved ..many thanks
