Is this a new build property ? , assuming it is , the developer ( paid to do the work by Openreach ) install an Ezibend optical cable from the location of the ONT to the outside wall , when the developer calls the plot off as ready for occupation, provided the external work is completed, a duct provided from the footpath to the house and interconnected footway or carriageway jointboxes , that house the fibre distribution blocks ( called CBTs) ) are also built ( also done by the developer , but again paid for by Openreach ) then an external optical cable can be supplied by Openreach to the house wall and spliced to the Ezibend internal cable , and the ONT is then authenticated, leaving the property ready for the occupant to contact the ISP of their choice , if any part of the external work is waiting on the developer , then obviously the connection cannot be completed and service cannot be provided, if these delays are known about , ISP shouldn’t raise orders that cannot be delivered, in these circumstances Openreach will cancel the ISP order .
Presumably you provided the BT router ( the SH2 ) yourself, as Openreach have no idea what ISP the occupant is going to use , did you order from BT for this house ? , that’s why you have a ‘new’ SH2 router , and presumably were you given an installation date from BT ? Or have you acquired the router from some other avenue, like bringing it with you from another property, or you bought it somewhere ?
If it’s not a new build , but an older property that had copper pair access and now has FTTP available, can your neighbours order FTTP ?, have any of them had FTTP installed, what is the status on this availability site ?
