IDNet Help / Re: FTTP New Installation Process
« Last post by armadillo on Yesterday at 18:45:31 »My installation (Ultrafast 330 FTTP 330/50) is now complete.
Digging up the pavement did not disconnect my copper prematurely and it cleared the fibre blockage so they could pull fibre through my duct under the front garden.
Openreach scheduled and cancelled the appointment several times for the engineer to come and connect the fibre to the external box. Eventually, they arrived without an appointment and without warning.
But they were very helpful and made the connection.
They were dubious about whether my existing router (which I have had for 10 years) would work but it does.
All I had to do to transfer it from FTTC to FTTP was alter the login user and password. It picked everything else up automatically.
To summarise, the external fibre cable goes from the front of the house, over my garage roof, round the back and into my home office (ground floor).
My router connects there and the PC connects to the router via ethernet cable.
At the PC, I get 313mbps down and 52 up.
