Okay, I know there are a few IT type bods on here.
I am getting fibre optic installed. The engineer date is on the 8th. Guess what, that's right, the b@st*rd electricity company has sent a circular around saying they are "interrupting" my electricity supply on the 8th! The engineer isn't available again until the 22nd, I am too impatient to wait this long.
So my question is this - does the fibre optic engineer really need electricity to set up? Sure for setting up the hub etc, but I'm pretty sure I can set that up myself. The phone usually works even when the electricity is out (unless of course it's a wireless one). So on this assumption can he do his job without electric? Surely it's just poking the master socket or something?
