@Garthy

How is your service currently provided?

Via an ONT I assume?

If FTTP is available then an engineer would be required to supply the fibre and fit the ONT. What does the CHECKER say when you input your phone number?

What is an external splitter box for FTTP? You seem to know more than we do.

i was told before the fibre cable had to be put through a box on the outside wall as it wasnt flexible and was told it was a splitter box

It's called a CSP and some installs have it and some don't - my fibre cable just goes straight through the outside wall to my ONT for example. I think there were problems with the connector and OR are reverting to using an outside CSP - it's just a splice point where the external fibre optic cable is spliced to the internal cable.

No, it is dependent on the method employed in your area.

pippincp — Sat, 06 Jun 2020 16:22:34 GMT

Depends if a CSP is used or not.
