HI
I’ve got 500Mbps fibre being installed in a weeks time and want to make sure I am ready for the installation. Having decent broadband is going to make such a difference to me.
My phone line currently runs into a storage space bang in the middle of our house (where i also have a small rack and router (Ubiquiti Dream Machine).
I understand Openreach will install a box to the outside of the house (mid terrace) - then run from there to the modem / ONT.
So my question is - how far can that cable be run? In our house, it would need to be approx 15m at least (at a guess) to get from the external box to the ONT. The route is underfloor boards and would need running through holes in the ceiling / skirting etc. Would the engineer be happy to do that?
I’d be happy to run it for them - have ran cables through the same route before myself, but am sure they are on a tight timescale, and only have certain lengths of cable.
Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew
