One upside of doing rural is that it does come with some permission to break from the constraints of the past. I fitted the conduit prior to having our drop-wire replaced and re-positioned a couple of years ago. Agree it would be nice if it was PoE for those with PoE switches which is quite common with IP based CCTV systems these days. If you’re having issues with your broadband provider, or you’ve found a better, cheaper or speedier deal elsewhere, then switching is simple. You'll just need to make sure you're out of contract to avoid any nasty early cancellation fees. Then 40 km for the link between the subtended OLT and the headend OLT. On the Openreach network the range would, hence, be between 75 km and 98 km. The 98 km is an edge case.

Nothing wrong with upgraded kit, but Does extending the range of a splitter to 98Km really achieve anything tangible. Possibly reduction of physical exchange buildings I think you will find most, if not all, FTTP connections will be providing the phone service via VoIP. In fact by 2025 even the few copper services left by then will also go VoIP as the old equipment is removed from the exchanges. There are plenty of grievances with Openreach. High profits, slow rollout and poor customer service are often touted as being the biggest downsides to the network. Service providers who operate on the network have also been vocal against its underinvestment and poor customer service. You'll find their details on the documents we've already sent you. Please include the wayleave reference if you have one. It will start with either SA or NA, and NI if you're located in Northern Ireland. Is ‘service creation’, often no more than re-imposing the constraints of the past impeding a better design or we just living with the limitations of the current generation of kit?Connect to your router using an Ethernet (wired) connection and switch off the Wi-Fi on your computer. If the speed test results are okay when you're using the cable, it could be the Wi-Fi that's causing the issues It sounded as though the cable was in his existing roof, if the OP had explained initially that the cable was not actually connected to his property then he may have got different answers, reading his original post there was no mention that the cable passed over his property to get to another. With 4 bends they might want to pull it in two stages to avoid putting too much stress on the fibre; but given that these are inspection bends that can be opened, that should be OK. Also, the total length of 6m is pretty short. So I don't see any problem with them using it. For those in an area outside of Openreach’s own rollout plans, or the plans of other companies and subsidised projects, the Fibre Community Partnership (FCP) programme exists. Residents and businesses who are interested in gaining access to Ultrafast Full Fibre can enter their postcode to get the ball rolling on a customised installation plan.

I have used a PoE splitter on my “MK2” ONT enabling me to lose the PSU. Quite happy that I have the BBU casing as it’s all very nice and neat with CAT6 in the wall. Ideally in due course I would prefer the fibre to be run through a 25mm conduit to the rear of our garage which is where the existing NTE5 is located together with my modem/router, but fear an engineer who has other ideas. Ultrafast Full Fibre broadband could help you get and keep more tenants, giving you a better return on your investment. If your property is in an area where we're rolling out our Full Fibre network we can include your building in our roll-out free of charge. A written legal agreement between us and the land or property owner. It gives us permission to install, maintain or repair the network equipment that’s on their property. Like a DSLAM it delivers a bunch of VLANs, possibly nested depending on CP, to the OLT which are then sent to service providers via Cablelinks.’

Airband are installing overhead FTTP across much of the area, but my understanding is that our power distribution company (Scottish Power Energy Networks) has refused access to their low voltage poles (i.e. those carrying power from the pole-mounted transformer to the customer). It sounds strange, but water can absorb the Wi-Fi signal, reducing the distance it can travel. Placing it near a mirror will also cause the wireless radio waves to reflect, which can have a negative impact on performance by scattering and distorting the signal. It's not just mirrors, either. Be wary of stainless steel countertops, filing cabinets, or any other flat, reflective surfaces. 6 - Avoid electronic items

There are some areas where technical limitations mean we can’t build our standard fibre network. This makes it too expensive for us to offer fibre broadband there. The Government is also supporting investment to get fast broadband coverage to as many people as possible. There are lots of different schemes available which might work for you: Openreach dosn't say that much abut there ONT units https://www.bt.com/help/broadband/whats-an-openreach... This ignoring the standardisation, scalability, etc, of such a solution. Openreach have to produce essentially the same products everywhere. Providing point to point Ethernet over CWDM for a small group of customers isn’t really an option, asinine as that is. Provisioning changes, parts and engineer training become an ‘issue’, the cost of the hardware on both ends as mentioned above becomes an ‘issue’.Can anyone confirm the input voltage and current requirement for the new Optical Network Terminals that are being fitted into domestic premises for the BT FTTP service and also size of the power plug, as I am thinking of getting a minin UPS to power my ONT and have my eye on this particular device:-
