Size of broadband internal wall box

Etr24 — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 12:53:36 GMT

We’re having EE fibre broadband installed in a few weeks but we have a built in media unit. When it was fitted, holes were cut to accommodate the telephone socket where our current internet router runs to. I know we’ll need to make this hole bigger for the new wall mounted unit but wondered if anyone had an idea of the measurements of the box.

Hopefully the photo gives you an idea of what I mean.

The ONT? I can't see the image yet but if you're talking about the ONT.

I have the manual beside me. If it's a Nokia ONT, Model No. G-010G-T

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

Thanks for your help. Is the ONT the same as the junction box? This is what is being fitted.

Just which EE BB product have you ordered? A junction box is usually associated with landlines.

Full fibre broadband. I only say junction box because that’s what it says in the instructional video about preparing for fibre to be installed.

That's an external junction box that is installed on the exterior of the building to connect it with the OR Fibre network. It is not the ONT which is installed on an interior wall usually opposite the external junction box. See Installing Ultrafast Full Fibre

For clarity, below is a picture of my External junction box on the wall outside my house, that has a cable running to the internal ONT as mentioned above.
