There is a high possibility that Openreach are laying FTTP in our area. But when it comes to installing in the house I have a few questions.
The fibre will come from an underground conduit (where the copper line comes in already). It goes to an external box Customer Splice Point (CSP) before going into the property and to the Optical Network Terminator (ONT).
The location our conduit is located means the fibre optic cable would enter a cupboard used to store damp coats additionally it is a high traffic cupboard, so not suitable for all the equipment, plus no power sockets.
Anyone have any first hand knowledge if Openreach will take the optical cable from the CSP externally up the front of the house and through an external wall into an office?
Or will the fibre optic need to enter the house at the bottom, then come back out of the wall and up the exterior?
These houses were built just before the FTTP rollout and the builders made no allowances and very poor choices as to the cabling layouts.
Cheers.

Openreach have been round the estate recently putting ropes through the underground conduits and making sure they're clear. Which they are thankfully.
