Self install ONT?

[WSH]

No problem, mate.  It wasn’t meant as a dig at you.

No worries, I know that 👍

Great idea by Openreach. Connecting an ONT wouldn't be too difficult a job!

I wonder if this also means that Openreach would finally allow fibre optic routers like Fritzbox 5690 Pro to be installed by the end user, which would eliminate the need for a separate ONT, which means fewer energy costs and one more socket available.

The problem with routers that accept a fibre signal is that system BT went for, splits our signal from that of our neighbours at the ONT.  The ONT actively filters the signal, unlike **some** PON devices, so we'd probably have to end up with BT supplied SFP+ adapters instead of the ONT.

*I guess for now I'll just have to use my SFP+ port to connect to the NAS, and use the 10Gbps capable ethernet to connect to the ONT.

**Some PON devices, if we want a discusssion on the imprecision of this, let start another thread!
