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. Customers will have one of five different types of Openreach modem, they all work in the same way, but the type and number of lights may vary between devices. Installations of Openreach’s ( BT) Fibre-to-the-Premises ( FTTP) based UK ultrafast broadband ISP technology will soon begin seeing a new Optical Network Unit (ONT), which is not only very compact (pictured top) but also comes in at a third of the cost of the existing unit. Obviously they’ve sacrificed a few little things.
And TBH copper lines that long must cost fortunes per premises to maintain so there is possibly a better commercial case to doing this than meets the first glance. Full Fibre broadband is also known as ‘Fibre To The Premises’, ‘Fibre To The Home’. This is often shortened to FTTP or FTTH. They’re all the same thing! Does anyone know if the ONT passes the VLAN tag of 101 to the ISP or is this the responsibility of the router? If you’re referring to perhaps provisioning them off existing routers Openreach don’t have them. The only active equipment they’re allowed is some transmission kit, which doesn’t connect via the Cablelink to CPs, and the OLTs, which as above I don’t think support WDM.
Once you've chosen a service provider, they'll need access to your apartment to install your broadband service. Each resident will need to arrange for their chosen service provider to install service in their apartment. The fibre optic link to BT exchange is working and recognises your Openreach fibre modem. What to do Previously, Openreach was owned by BT. This explains why it was, and still is, known to many as 'BT Openreach'. However, since 2017 it runs as a separate company, although one that’s still a subsidiary of BT group.

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. I fitted the conduit prior to having our drop-wire replaced and re-positioned a couple of years ago. I would have liked to see an SFP ONT option too for those who would rather cut out the separate ONT. It’s not like Huawei don’t offer them.If you are fibre customer you might have an Openreach modem (or ONT) installed. This white box connects to a fibre optic cable, which runs directly to your house and allows you to access our fibre network for broadband and voice. We also need to obtain permission to access private land and to plan our builds so that they cause minimal disruption to the environment and to the lives of local communities. If you rent your property that you have the landlord's permission for us to drill a small hole on the inside and outside of the building.

As well as working on installing equipment in our exchanges, we’re also overlaying part of our existing copper network (the part between exchanges and green cabinets) with fibre. And we’re running fibre direct to homes and businesses too. This involves lots of civil engineering work – in lots of different, and sometimes hard to reach or remote, locations.

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. We connect the 15cm x 13cm external junction box to the Openreach fibre network using a fibre optic cable. Depending on your property, the cable will either run from underground or from a telegraph pole. In both cases, the cable runs directly from one of our exchanges. First of all, you might notice our engineers working nearby. Don’t worry, they’re just busy making sure our network is ready for you. Whilst no one needs to be in for this, a decision maker needs to be present when we install your connection.
