Hi folks,

FTTC is coming to our village - AIUI the exchange is enabled (it's
listed as accepting orders), and they are working on connecting cabinets
(lots of Openreach activity around the place over the last few months)
Our cabinet date by March 2014 at the moment. We shall see.....

Anyway, our system is old and a bit of a hotpotch. External grey box up
by the eaves, two different incoming wires (plus a disconnected 2nd
line) one to our bedroom, one coming in via the front door, to which
most internal sockets and a big loud bell are connected. No modern NTE5
master socket. Existing sockets were BT installed I think as ISTR they
were listed as equipment when we took over the house.


Just thinking ahead so I can be prepared in case I need to change
things. AIUI they will install an extra 'box' indoors that deals with
the BB connection, and then the router connects into this? we have an
internal wired network around some of the house, so I've got flexbility
where I locate routers and things. Not really bothered about any
supplied router's wifi as I have my own wifi AP centrally mounted.

So what will they do?
