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 ?

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 !

Re: New Fibre Install
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.
