The friendly engineer arrived exactly when expected and worked hard for about 5 hours to install a new wi-fi network. He explained clearly what he was doing and discussed and agreed with us where the various sockets and wiring should go. The extensive work was carried out efficiently and everything was left clean and tidy and in good working order.Verified reviewerJob location: RG6Response from Reading Aerial Services Limited
