I've just bought a house in an area that can get FTTP. I work from home so before I move in I want to get the internet up and running.
I've read that the engineer will install the FTTP cable in the same place as the existing copper phone line enters the building. I've found the "elephants foot" in the front of the house:

The problem is that this comes into the kitchen behind the washing machine. Assuming that I was even willing to have the ONT and my router behind the washing machine ('m not) there's no spare power socket for it anyway.
The phone socket is in the living room on the opposite side of the building to where the phone line comes in. There are no visible internal cables so I assume they are running inside the walls. Will the engineer install the ONT next to the existing phone socket in the living room, even if this means running cables along whatever path the existing phone like takes somehow?
There is nowhere at the front of the building where it would be suitable to install the ONT, and there's no power sockets unless I have it next to the kettle. Running it around the side of the building isn't an option either because it's a terraced house, so what would the engineer do in this situation? All my ISP can tell me is that the engineer will find a way which is pretty vague.
