Re: Altnets

"hopefully others will no longer think moderators get discounted contracts."

 

Why would others think that? I've never leapt to that assumption.

@jab1 Openreach FTTP does not actually go to the FTTC cabinets, it goes back from user's premises to underground aggregation nodes which link back to the fibre head end exchange, these nodes may or may not be near a cabinet. An Altnet may use Openreach ducts but never any of the Openreach equipment, and their fibres will definitely not go to the cabinets.


@RealAleMadrid Thanks for teaching grandad to suck eggs. 😀 I know that, and probably have missed something - after all, I only saw what was happening for about 10-15 minutes while waiting for a bus. I know what I saw though, and know that Pine Media are only concerned with FTTP. They were definitely laying the cables in the BT ducting, but maybe, because I didn't get close enough to the area round the cabs to see exactly where they terminated - most likely where PM are going to put their equipment - next to the BT cabs.
