Anyone had fibre installed recently ?

[LGW100]

All - I am shortly going to be moving from current superfast to Fibre and are pending OpenReach vist to install the external box/ONT.   For anyone that has had fibre installed recently, are they still using the Nokia or Huawei ONTs where dimensions are:- 82mmx89mm / 82mmx90mm, and can I confirm that you only had the ONT installed and not the mounting box that is able to hold a length of cable  as well ?

Thanks, just want to check as I have some specific internal challenges with regards to fitted furniture and installation of the ONT box, which I may have to work around if something else is going to be used.

For a typical UK installation there's no internal cable spool: that's located at the external CSP enclosure.  The fibre pigtail between CSP and ONT is cut to length before fusion splicing.

I believe the internal cable spool may be more of a feature of full fibre installations in the Republic of Ireland.

@LGW100 the exact model of the ONT does vary according to what stock the engineer draws it from. The external box is a standard part of the installation as explained here https://www.openreach.com/help-and-support/full-fibre-broadband-installation-checklist#accordion-b43...

One slight variation: in some MDU full fibre installations there can be an internal CSP which is typically a rectangular white enclosure.  This protects the fusion splice point where that can't be outside the individual dwelling unit.

Thanks, so worse case scenario, will be an ONT similar to the sizes in original question and then CSP which looks to be about 12 cm x3 cm ( approx)  

Thanks.

Had a recent install of full-fibre in October and this is the box and dimensions of it.
