Installation

Hi, I'm just wondering if I already have a openreach box from nowtv from like 2 years ago does another one still need to be installed? I'm going to be on full fibre. Thanks

@Lorraine12341 If you are on a Full Fibre connection done and supplied with OR for your nowTV broadband then no nothing needs to be changed unless you go 1.6Gb/s speed package with EE, that MAY require your ONT to be swapped out.

I'm going on the 900mbps speed with ee. The ONT was from a few years ago, not had broadband for a very long time, had to switch the now TV one off, sorry if I didn't make that clear. Would it still need to not be swapped out?

@Lorraine12341 Would doubt it, the ONT installed would be good to the 1000Mb/s speed.... The two below are the common ones, see the pictures once cleared for viewing. Do switch the ONT on before you apply to get the Broadband, possible that it will be remotely tested to see that one exist's and is on live and powered up...

Don't worry, the images were awaiting approval. I have now done so & they should appear soon.

@Lorraine12341 You should be able to see the posted pictures now, when you switch the ONT power pack on, two lights should come on, Power solid green and the Pon also solid green, that lets OR check that the system is good from there end, may say you any wasted delay's in getting the FF900 installed and then just an EE Hub required to connect to it and the speed profile adjusted to the FF900 from EE, Lan connection will light up green when you attach the EE Hub.
