    Failed OpenServe installation

    OpenServe came and installed fibre at our new premises. They mentioned they are not seeing any lights on the ONT and that they have escaled it to their Cables department. How long does this usually take? We are moving because of no internet connectivity and my wife and I both work from Home.
