Fibre box removable?

[hartgeh3]

Hi guys, anyone know if you can remove these two boxes, I think the ONT can come off but the round one not sure about.
Need plastering so not sure what we can do here...

You can't remove the round one as it is protects the fibre line coming into your property (and you could break it as it is just a glass tube), and if you are putting the ONT back in the same place after the work is done then you should be able to lift it off the screws that hold it.

Thought so, cheers mate

Make sure you protect the end of the fibre, either with a proper SC-type fibre dust cap or wrapped in plastic film. Same with the ONT, keep the fibre recepticle clean while it's not in use.

You don't want to be getting dust or dirt anywhere near the tip of the fibre.

Yeah I read about that, will get it covered up once removed.

The cover on the round bit should unclip, you should be able to pull it forward enough (20mm or so) so it's out the way for a plasterer to skim.

TBH i'd rather him work around it then mess about with it incase he gets screwed up!

Someone told me OpenReach charge £100 if you want them moved.

 

[hartgeh3]

Yeah I think its £98 sod that lol

Yeah they put ridiculous rules and costs around these things. IIRC one of the providers says you cannot even turn off the ONT.

You can unofficially move it yourself using an SC/SC fibre coupler and SC fibre patch cable.

Just make sure you put it back if you have a fault
