Openreach - External CSP

wg128 — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 08:37:37 GMT

I live on a new build estate. My property is the only property on the development with an old style box (looks like an external feed for copper) with a T in a circle logo.

All other houses have the Openreach external CSP.

Do you know why this could be?

No, I just don't know why I'm the only person to have this box.

I also believe you can't order ultrafast fibre on the one I have.

The CSP is just a weatherproof housing for the splice between the internal and external fibre, can't see how it can have any impact on what service you can order.

Openreach are no longer installing CSP’s on New Sites.

Instead they are now using a Connectorised Female to Female Connector Lead.

Its still FTTP you’ll have, it’s just not Spliced and instead connected together using Connectors.

I’ve seen a few New Sites that have a mix of CSP’s and those with the Female to Female Connectors, why I don’t know but either way it’s all FTTP.
