OK I have adsl via a Under ground feed.This terminate on extenal wall and is then appears as telephone wall socket on the opposite wall of my kitchen. So their is a mettalic cable under my kitchen floor. If I was to go fibre where would place the fibre access without taking my floor up.

Bascally block is fitted on the external wall where the external optical cable from the network appears , another ‘internal’ optical cable is ran from here to the location of the ONT , the ONT doesn’t need to be where the current master phone socket is …although you can decide where the ONT is located. it has to be practical and not too time consuming to fit it where you want , unreasonable requests are refused …..cabling to the ONT can be ran externally if that’s appropriate, once inside the property its surface wiring on skirting boards etc, no flooring is touched

and the 3 letter acronym is alive and well. And the wall ties surrounding the Master.Running on scirting would need the kitchen dismantelling ,so no go.

Did you watch the video , it’s pretty self explanatory, ONT ( optical network termination , the small powered wall mounted unit in the video ) , if you want that in the kitchen but that will be impractical to locate it there , then obviously don’t order FTTP

No, they won’t lift floorboards.

The cable will go externally where possible but if must it’ll go up and over skirting boards and doorframes.
