So on Monday I waited all afternoon for the fiber internet guys to show up. All day I heard drilling throughout the building, but they never showed up. The next day my sister called them and they told her that the appointment was for Thursday, while she's sure she set it for Monday.

On Wednesday morning I ran some errands in the city center. When I wasn't home they called my sister why nobody was there to open the door. She told them the appointment was for Thursday. Yesterday they finally came. First someone to drill the hole in the wall and get the cable inside. An hour later someone to finish the job; install and connect the cable to a little box/outlet, neatly finish off the hole in the wall, test the cable and vacuum.

And that was it, or so we thought. My sister went to an HOA meeting last night and neighbours told her that they were told that in the next couple of weeks they internet guys have to come by again to test the cable/connection/whatever. They never said anything about that to me or my sister.

The drilling in the building is still continuing and I'm going a bit crazy from the noise. So, despite the crappy weather, I'm going on a little city trip to Amersfoort. The work was planned for this week and next week. I'm hoping they finish today, at least the noisy parts.

All this for the new owner. Because we're not going to change our internet for the two months we're still here.
