Not having FTTC, I don't have any experience of those modems.

Nor have I. I'm solely looking at the legal aspects of it.

However, with Fibre, I believe the NTE5 ceases to be the borderline of OR's fiefdom; the OR modem becomes an NTE (Network Termination Equipment) in its own right.

Fortunately, I have already posted proof that this is wrong.

The information you were given, and the form in which it was given, is probably legally binding in your case.

Not necessarily.

If it was on company stationery it probably had "E&OE" somewhere at the bottom...

And if it was in email it probably had a huge disclaimer at the bottom, although nobody ever reads them.

You have no proof!

Not only do I have proof, I have also posted the link for you - even though you don't have Infinity.
But as I may have said before, I encourage anyone who is so minded, to request proof from Openreach as I did, rather than take my word for it.

I disagree as I have been informed otherwise.

You are aware that Openreach employees get things wrong too? I have seen more than one instance of this in the past months, from the CEO downwards.

** FTTC demarcation rules are as follows - The NTE5 is the Network Termination Point of the Openreach access network within the end user’s premises, although Openreach also maintains the active NTE. The active NTE is the FTTC VDSL modem and will be located close to a power source and the desired service location. The active NTE can be located separately from the NTE5 and can be connected via Data Extension Kit (DEK) cabling up to a length of 30m. Any Openreach-installed data extension wiring comes with a one-year warranty and becomes the end user’s property.

Future Evolution
– Self Install SSFP?
– CP-owned Active NTE?

Seems a bit strange to be discussing the possibility of CPs owning an active NTE when giving them to end users, nor mentioning specifically that the data extension wiring becomes the end user's property rather than, say, everything after the NTE5.

Did you ask for this information from nga.enquiries? In my experience I've received some quite dubious info from them at times.

EDIT: I'll ask a contact from Openreach about this, see if he can confirm. Have been liaising with him over a few issues so he should be able to supply reliable information.

Well, there's your answer

** FTTC demarcation rules are as follows - The NTE5 is the Network Termination Point of the Openreach access network within the end user’s premises

That's a cheat, truncating the sentence.

Anyway it does not matter, since that doc scope is:

The document is produced for information purposes only. Communications Providers should refer to the applicable Openreach terms and conditions and the Openreach Price List. Their contents take precedence over any information held herein.

and so has no legal part to play between you, the end-user, and your ISP.

PS: Not received anything you promised.

No, just removing the excess after the comma. The statement regarding the termination point is unchanged.

No, no, I posted the link (much) earlier in this thread.
