Fiber to Copper - external wall

[Crimliar]

It should never have been left in such a mess, and you really don't want to go interfering with anything, not on the customer side of the master socket or ONT!  Sometimes the best solution is to act dumb!

The OP could get his line tidied up but his only, at a cost.  There is no ONT there to cause concern.

An FTTP install would be much  tidier but would require a cable running up externally to his flat. Everythhg would be clipped up correctly though. Better than that mess now. Again applies to his connection only though.

Thanks.

The other 3 flats have confirmed they are using Virgin or Three 5G, therefore I'll just propose we remove that mess 🙂

Although strictly speaking that mess is Openreach ‘network’ as it’s between the BT66 ( the grey block on the wall ) and the master sockets in each of the 4 flats ( presumably there are 4 separate cables 1 for each flat ) it’s likely that they were supplied by the developer, and although 3 out of 4 of the flats don’t currently use Openreach based services over those cables , they may in the future, so to start chopping cables may cause future issues , the cable that has the overground repair joint enclosure was presumably provided because someone damaged a cable to one of the flats , hence the repair.

As far as the original question, you do realise that copper and fibre are separate networks, and that fibre networks don’t just replace sections of copper cables with fibre ones, there is much more to it that that.

If these addresses ever have the option of FTTP ‘full fibre’ , as opposed to FTTC ( fibre to the cab ) then those copper cables , the external cable to the BT 66 and the distribution cables to each flat will be redundant and new optical cabling supplied to each flat , as and when FTTP was  was ordered

Thanks for the info. We may aswell just wait until FTTP is available before removing the mess from the wall then, as we're inner London so it's likely in the next 2/3 years.
