Installing Fibre - master socket downstairs, router upstairs

[KTSK]

Hi,  I'm looking to update from ADSL broadband to fibre.  Currently my phoneline comes into the house (from a little grey box at the front of the house) to a master socket in a hall cupboard.  From here I have a panasonic digital phone signal distributer plugged in, which sends the phone signal to two handsets in the house.  My router is currently  set up upstairs connected to an extension phone socket in my spare room, which is a set I'd like to keep.  Would the fibre set up still allow for my router to be upstairs?  How can this be linked to the modem I see BT Openreach need to install for fiber installation.  I see other posts of installations being put in places people don't want.  Thanks for any replies.

@KTSK Openreach are likely install  the new fibre cable external Customer Supply Point in a similar location as the current copper supply. The internal ONT need not be in excatly the same place but the standard fibre pigtial cable use to connect the the CSP is 10m long and so the ONT is usally mounted on the inside of the same wall. The hub is by default within a metre or so of the ONT but can be further away if you suplly a longer Ethernet cable. The engineers do try and give you what you want but practicalities and time restraints limit what thry can do. The enginerr decidescwhat is possible on the day but you can decline tge install if you want but pretty obviously being flexible is sensible.

Your existing phone witing is redundant and cant be reused. Fibre cables cannot be bent round sharp corners but you are free to tun ethernet cables yourself it you want.
