I'm twiddling my thumbs this morning awaiting the arrival of the FTTP installer. Sometime between 8am and 1pm, so I had to get up early just in case. So, more likely 1pm then.
Given that each job is estimated to be 2 hours and no-one is here, I'm probably the second job of the day. Give an hour extra for travel between jobs I'd estimate the next likely ETA would be 11am, then 1pm.

No need for a UPS to keep the telephone working during a power cut back then.
