Re: Fibre Routing into house

The reason some homes have a second drop cable for FTTP is DV wasn’t available at the time so they retained the copper for their phone service.

It could also be the FTTP Technology available in your area is BFT, Blown Fibre Tubing. Again with this you had to retain the Copper Line if keeping a traditional land line.

Or it could just be the Engineer(s) who did the install just didn’t have time to recover the old copper drop wire.

Possibly, but I am on DV already so have no need to keep the old copper line.

This area isn't BFT - it is pulled fibre cable in the old ducts to the poles.

I suspect it will be time. Hence my question.

Re: Fibre Routing into house

Also worth noting your router can be connected to the ONT by up to 100m of cat 5e cable, so it can be in a different room.

Given my house hasn't got ready made trunking to run ethernet cabling around it, that is not going to help.

The current hub location is the perfect location in my property. No going to be pressured into putting it somewhere else just because it takes 30 minutes off the installers job.
