Just moved into a house that was previously owned by an old lady, there's an openreach box however there's no power cable and it's definitely not the newer ONT boxes with what looks like the small puck attached to the wall. Just wondering how I get this changed or if this will work with the full fibre gigafactory if I can find a power cable.
Thanks for any help or advice 😃

If it's a VDSL modem (typically Huawei brand HG612) rather than an ONT then no, it cannot work for FTTP.
