Openreach new install
I have some questions about a new FTTP install:
- The ISP will request new install from Openreach as I understand.
- The pole is literally outside my house – detached property.
- Current (dead for years) copper wire comes from the pole and is above the left side of the house at roof level.
- No power points where the old copper phone cable entered the hose.
My questions are:
- Will I get informed when Openreach come to do external wiring?
- Will they pull the wire to the RIGHT side of the house (at roof level)
- If they pull the wire to the old phone line at roof level, will they run the external cable to the point I choose? Important to get it in right place for my home working study.
I understand they provide a premier service as well. Anyone have experience of it?

Re: Openreach new install
Is it BT you have ordered service with ?, obviously the ISP orders service from OR , if there has never been FTTP before, then it’s a new install, whoever you use as a provider should inform you of the date your service is scheduled to be installed , often ( as a courtesy ) the OR installer calls you to say when they should arrive ( provided the ISP has given OR your contact details )
BT and OR are not interchangeable, it’s Openreach ( or a contractor working on their behalf) that will provide the connection to the FTTP network …generally they will try to do what the householder wants ( within reason ), they will look to use the existing wall ‘bracket’ that the copper wire attaches to , but the new cable doesn’t have to then run to the same place the copper wiring is located.
