Hi,
I am waiting for my FTTP 300 installation which is due for 25th March.
It was originally listed as a Stage 1 install which I thought was an install which was started and completed on the same visit?
I also hoped that it would mean no CSP fitted and the cable to go directly through the wall to the ONT.
However, there was a knock on the door the other morning and I opened it to find a Kelly Comms van outside.
I must admit, my heart sank a bit after reading some of the comments on here about the standards of their work.
Turns out to be a really nice chap and he done a nice job fitting the shotgun cable with the copper being joined to my existing landline and the fibre going down the wall to a grey CSP box.
He said they are going around doing as much as they can to get rid of any backlogs etc.. and making the final fit easier and faster. So my install is now a 2 stage and with a CSP which I was hoping to avoid!
The thing is, when they come to finish the install they will have to run the fibre from the CSP back up the wall again (very near to where the pole cable joins the house), then through a hole into the upstairs office where I want the ONT located..
My question is this, would it not be easier to pull the fibre from the CSP and just feed it directly through the wall into the office, theres certainly enough fibre to do this and it would mean no external splice. A real quick and simple install to be honest.
Do I have to have the CSP or can they feed the fibre directly into a property without one? It's big and ugly and has a cable running down my front wall only to go back up the wall to the upstairs office again.
I was also told that I'm not able to have DV yet which I assume is why he fitted shotgun cable?
Cheers,
