New fibre connection

MazzaLatic — Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:46:45 GMT

Openreach have just said that I can get full fibre broadband now.

There are no telegraph poles nearby and our existing line is underground, however some neighbouring streets have their fibre via poles.

We live in a small bungalow with a low pitched roof, so the apex is only about 4 metres off the ground. A telegraph pole would have to be right outside our window to reach us without being in danger of being brought down by lorries

If I order Fibre from Sky and openreach turn up and want to put up a massive telegraph pole outside our house or, even worse, a neighbour's., or I'm not happy about the route they want to take from the pavement to the house. Will I be able to cancel the installation before it goes ahead?

For all SOADSL services,the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage.

Actual speeds experienced by end users and quoted by CPs will be lower due to a number of factors within and external to BT's network, Communication Providers' networks and within customer premises.

In order to be eligible for handback, downstream speed should be less than Downstream Handback Threshold values.

@MazzaLatic

Single Dwelling Unit Residential UG partial Direct In Ground.

So the connection will be underground, but requires excavating a new duct.

@MazzaLatic

"UG partial Direct In Ground."

In your case openreach have already decided on an underground installation. The partial direct in ground refers to the possibility that they may have to lay fibre optic up to your house
