I'm currently considering an installation of the FTTP service and have some queries for which any input would be gratefully appreciated.
The house has not been connected to any BT service so far but the address checker states that the service is available: 'WBC FTTP / Up to 1000 / Up to 220 / - / Available / 1 Stage / Single Dwelling Unit Residential UG / FTTP is available and a new ONT may be ordered'.
The house is a new build (2017) and has a BT duct/column with a BT66B box to the right of the front door. There is an exterior wall on the left of the front door and the passage which runs along that exterior wall is approximately 1.2m wide.
My preferred location for the ONT is a cupboard located upstairs at the rear and it would be placed on the other side of this exterior wall.
I believe the fibre would need to run straight up from the CSP box, which would presumably replace the BT66B box, run above the front door to the left, around a corner and then finally along the exterior wall. The hole would be approximately 3m from the back of the house and 3m from ground-level where it would enter the cupboard space just above the skirting board. There are two mains sockets on an adjacent wall and they are within a metre.
Does this installation sound feasible and would the width of the passage beside the external wall be fine for ladder use?
Based on what I've read so far, this should be fine but it would be great to place an order with some confidence.
My last question relates to usage. I'm currently using approximately 500GB a month but this may peak to 1TB. Would this be acceptable as per any fair usage policy (or equivalent)?
Please let me know if any further details would be useful.
Thank you.
