Looking for some basic information on what OR installation techs will do or are allowed to do.
I have a bungalow. My copper cable comes from a telegraph pole at the foot of my garden to the apex of my roof and the phone master socket is screwed to the wall in the loft. The broadband line goes from there through the loft the length of the house and down through a wall to the study where the modem/router and switch are.
The fibre lines are being distributed via the telegraph poles too so I guess my FTTP will come from the same pole. Would the installer be able/allowed/willing to install the ONT in the loft near where the current master socket is? (There’s a power point nearby). The reason for wondering about it is that the 2 rooms nearest the pole aren’t suitable - one is the bathroom (no power and obviously unsuitable) and the other is a dressing room with the walls fully lined with wardrobes and a radiator and no accessible power socket (there is one but above the dressing table on the side of the room opposite the outside wall). If the ONT was in the loft I could easily replace the current cable with an Ethernet one so it’d leave the rest of my wiring not needing any changes.
I’m a bit unwilling to shift to FTTP without a fair idea up front of what cabling I’d need to do to hook it up and ideally get it in place prior to the install.
