New Fibre Install

Hi,

I received an offer today to upgrade to ful Fibre (100) for no extra cost.

I accepted this offer, as currently my broadband signal is shocking. it was poor to start with, and I have since built an extension over it, knowing I was going to move the point of enty to the house.

I was in the process of arranging moving the POE with ex BT engineer.

So my question is, will this be a new fibre connection to my house from the junction box in the pavment ? or will it be the old connection in copper which I will therefore have to carry on arranging moving the POE.

I have a duct in the ground ready for the new connection to be installed. just need what is going to be installed.

Re: New Fibre Install

It is an overhead feed with possible line of sight issues.  So fttp exists but may be trees in the way

Re: New Fibre Install

Don't quite understand that. There is no pole near my house. Unless they are coming across the back gardens.

Or daisy chaining ?

I have a junction box in the pavement outside my house

Unfortunately that doesn't help if the local optical cable distribution is overhead.

 

Perhaps try a few neighbouring addresses in the BT Wholesale lookup to confirm.

Re: New Fibre Install

So will they end up daisy chaining ? From road to house, across back  to back gardens to my house ? 
seems odd. Unsightly for me and the neighbours !

All we can go by is the lookup results, which as @cookiemonsteruk said indicates a (problematic) overhead connection.

 

If there aren't underground Connectorised Block Terminals (CBTs) in the vicinity then ducting cannot be used because the fibre just isn't there.
