MFN Go live

[ZANAIDOC]

Hi All
Quick question, how long does it generally take for CI to update their coverage map after an area goes live?
MFN went live last week in my area as per their coverage map and reps, but i dont find it in CI coverage map.

Thanx Guys

MFN aren't very forthcoming with 3rd party ISPs, so not surprising they would update their map but not send the maps out so to speak. What is your application ref?

Thanks @PBCool, haven’t done the application yet, will do it this week, directly via your sales team if the map is still not updated.

Any whats the lead time for the install? the fibre drop to the house is already done , i guess i will just need the ONT to be installed and activated.

Just depends on MFN really and also a new area, guideline is always 2 weeks.

MFN is never simple

@PBCool need your help if you can... I spoke to MFN about this and they can confirm that they have orders already from other ISp's for my street... not sure why CI are not able to place the order with MFN.

Please help look into this...

We deal directly with MFN, there is no point in reaching out to them as a customer.

They will simply say there are orders from the area. Not specific to your address so you will get a general answer vs us placing actual orders. Believe what the connect team are telling you as this is what we get told during the order process for your location.

Please be a bit more patient for me

Thanx , I will hang on with this.

Hi @PBCool
ONT installed by MFN .....
How long does it normally take to activate with Ci and get the PPPOE account details ?

Great news, usually takes MFN another day to provision. We can send PPPs the same day.
