what openreach do when installling fibre BB?
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? -- Chris French |
