For new FTTC installations, an engineer will need to go to the local street cabinet. If your customer doesn’t need a new line we can activate the service without going to their home or office. We call this option “PCP only”, or self-install. The ONT tends to be installed inside your home (wall hung), usually near to where the fibre optic cable physically enters the property, and it’s primary job is simply to take that optical signal and convert it into an electrical one so that you can hook-up a broadband router via a standard LAN / Ethernet port. Below are six simple steps to help improve your wireless Internet signal: 1 - Find a central location Of course the van supplier will allow me to do a test now and then which will shows that indeed the engine runs at 500mph and I’ll feel good. Then I’ll take the kid to school at 50mph feeling good that someday it might be 500mph. Learn about what the lights on the Openreach fibre modem mean and what to do if they show that there's a problem.
This whole thing is, as I’ve said, much more akin to cable / HFC network layout than point to point fibre and has to be considered in that way. The only reason cable operators in the USA allow customers to connect their own equipment is because they’re legally obliged and they hate doing it.
fwiw, most router manufacturers like Asus, Linksys tend to use 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel plugs for their 12v power adapters. My fear is that this might mean that in future we will be limited to copper hook ups to non-BT routers if I ever want to upgrade the modem to an independent brand with more range or features. And am also concerned how OR will get power to an outside wall fitted modem, either under the eaves or down nearer ground level on an outside wall. So exposed to damp etc. So I basically fear this is designed to save OR and BT installation costs, but which will limit my flexibility in future. These speeds look great on paper but the sad fact is that for the majority of users unless they are plugged straight into the router over a cat cable that can handle these speeds then these speeds will not be achievable for 99% of users. We also offer managed installation. That means our engineer will go to your customer’s home or office to set up network terminating equipment (NTE) and make sure any internal extension wiring is working properly. They’ll set up one device and make sure it’s working before they leave.
From there, a much smaller cable will be run inside to a small, powered, wall-mounted unit that we’ll plug your router into. Finally, we’ll test your full fibre connection on one of your preferred devices to make sure you’re totally happy, so you can start making the most of a faster, more dependable connection than ever.Without exception every PON installation I’ve seen in the UK has been delivered via a full fibre run inside the building with a splitter node or several in the basement or comms room. 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 Internet search found post, that says Solved: FTTP 1 Stage Installation - BT Community and Solved: Neighbours Have FTTP I Don't - BT Community Seemingly upgrade of telegraph pole could be FTTP.
Ethernet connection is normal between Openreach fibre modem and Hub (Port 1 is where engineer will install). As far as the other part goes I can’t say I’ve ever seen a PON solution where the customers / building owner provide their own pig tails between units and a fibre tray. I’ve seen point to point where this is the case and there’re an ODF in a basement with wires-only or managed router provision at the end but not where it’s PON to an SFP. We might also need also need to drill an extra small hole or two outside to work safely on our ladders. It will really help us if you can clear some space for us to work. And you’ll need your new router to hand when we get there. We’ll run a fibre optic cable, from a nearby telegraph pole or underground, to a small junction box on an external wall. Many other territories already work on the basis you have an ONT and router combined and you plug it in yourself. Some alt-nets in the UK also provide self-install, even as far as running a length of fibre cable across your garden from the connection point into your house. You must always plug your Hub into the Openreach modem port PORT 1. If you're connected to PORT 1 but have no internet connection, try plugging the Ethernet cable (red ends) into the next one along. After a few minutes a blue light will show your Hub is ready.For our premium managed installation, our engineers will set up a home or office to make the most of the service. That includes: Try testing your Wi-Fi with more than one device – this will allow you to see if the issue is with your device rather than your broadband service It’s like buying a Formula 1 Van to do the school run, of course it will go the stated speed of 500mph or whatever but the local quality of roads don’t allow it etc etc. Can anyone comment on this please. I’ve been carefully studying FTTP option as we have been offered FTTP (up to 900 down by BT, I’m likely to go for 150 down, and needing a much faster upload speed soon) at our home. Poles in the lane about half mile from fibre cabinet) have carried OR fibre for a couple of years but now being marketed for our postcode. After reading this excellent review, I’ve understood that if fibre line is now routed from the nearest pole about 35 metres away from which the current ADSL line runs to our eaves outside it would replace the current BT ADSL broadband (only 4 down, minimal up) and phone.
