Cab BT connect to existing open reach fibre cable ?

[iniltous]

No , you do need an Ethernet cable connecting the ONT to the router , the point is a standard Openreach installation the router and ONT are connected together with a very short Ethernet cable ( so they are co-located in the same room ) , if you want to supply your own much longer Ethernet cable so you can have the router much further away from the ONT  , you install the ‘long’ Ethernet cable yourself , underfloors , through walls , whatever you want , as you will be doing the work to install this longer Ethernet cable yourself, (not Openreach) , you get the cable in ready , and when the install takes place you ask for the ONT installed near one end of the cable ( close to where the cable from outside would enter the house ) you then have your router at the other end of the Ethernet cable you fitted yourself inside your  house .

ok got it 

i was clutching at straws.  

googled again about splicing the fiber cable to my existing  appears not a field engineer possibility 

floor boards or stick with Virgin 

I'll  google to see if any ISP can use my existing copper coax 

thank you for patience with this  All best

Only VM can use your existing coax cable.

[licquorice]

Nobody else uses co-ax.

Just use your fibre as a draw rope, it's very simple.

It wont pull I tried . I cant lift those floor boards again.

TBA am of advancing years:  back then nobody heard of wifi  You had to try and guess future Pulled cables all over houses we moved to  for cat something ethernet if it came :  It did.  so  laid this fibre cable  for future proof .Engineer who gave it to me assured me it was doddle to connect it  some years back

Remember when it came over the telephone wires    Had to go out and pee on the earth wire to improve  reception  in summer.! 

You guys have been very helpful   If only open reach were in anyway accessible to the consumer Might have known the score sooner

Adios ( thats french by the way )
