Is EE FTTP dual or simplex !?

[denede]

Hello guys,

Maybe someone could help me because i'm intending on jumping to the 1.6Gbps package and i need to know if the actual fiber cable, more exactly the end of the cable is dual or single because i'm intending on having my own wifi7 router with spf+ support and i need to know which transceiver to purchase.(don't really want to use the RJ45 socket) - (I wont use their provided hub)

At the moment as a common sense person and because most widely available cables/transceivers are dual i purchased a 10GB dual spf+ transceiver in the 1310nm wavelength.

Best Regards,

denede

I do have the technical knowledge but it seems people from the support team cannot answer my questions or they won't. That's why i headed my attention to the forum

What i would like to do, like ive done before, is to directly put the fiber cable into my own router(ONT) removing the need of creating a bridge between theirs and mine.

@denede So who did you do this with before?

@denede  you cannot legally do that in this country. You must connect via the RJ45 PORT.

Given EE and Openreach are both BT Group companies asking for that kind of information on their public forums is not sensible. A bit like asking your bank where they keep the key to the door.

Ive done it with lots of ISP providers, but not in this country.. that's why im trying to find more information. Basically the main thing when they activate your services, normally, is they open your port from the box outside your building and that's it. After that it's your own business how you use the cables. That's how I'm used with.  But seems it's not the case here or they don't want to be the case on purpose.

But since ive seen one another company one other company on the same network infrastructure giving consumer routers i believe it's very possible 

[denede]

Asking about how the socket and/or cables connect is not sensible or private information. That's weird

[Mustrum]

@denede  But you have been told the customer interface details, the information you seek is not in the public domain as it is illegal to connect at that point.

No weird.

When you want to pay for a service you should be informed how the actual service works to see if it's actually what you need and for your home environment.  That's what i think. You don't just pay for the sake of it..

I will get to the bottom of this and post updates if i will have any. 

Cheers guys and thank you for the replies. At least this forum is active.

@denede You should look for another ISP who will allow you to do as you wish, and will guide you to the equipment interface that you want, with OR on a home consumer connection, you will more than likely be restricted, as a business user there is more flexibility...

Your router isn't an ONT. You mentioned other companies that are also on the OR network giving normal Asus or TP-Link routers & they're not ONTs either.

No, it isn't! The provider owns & is responsible for everything up to the ONT. You business only starts at the WAN port of the ONT.
