ONT install and power

Hi all, I am finally getting FTTP installed in about 2 weeks time with Aquiss. At the moment the master socket is near the front door where the splitter is and goes to the main living room to a the phone base unit (closest place to power socket, about 15 odd metres away). The broadband line comes up to my room to the modem/router.
Now since there is no power at the master socket will the installer be able to put the ONT anywhere else to get power?
Would ideally like it to go around the outside of the house into my bedroom where the router is or the opposite side of the house to the main living room, but would have to run ethernet cables to the bedroom.
Cheers

The location of the current phone install doesn't matter.

The fibre can be run to (within reason), where you want, so choose the best location for you with power available.

Exactly what Andy said. Do make sure the line is run how you want it but bear in mind it may be a black cable which if your walls are white, may be something you want to paint over one day

Hopefully not. If it’s a black jacketed cable something very wrong has been done. That would be external grade cabling - which any installer worth their salt should absolutely not be installing in a habitable space.

I suspect Seb was on about an external cable run.

I picked my preferred ONT location and had a new double power socket installed to suit. Luckily it was a straightforward job with minimal costs.

Will see if they can run it to the bedroom and install it there where the router is located.

My dad had MJ Quinn install his FTTP.

FTTP anchored on the side of the property to the rear. The fibre is closer to the neighbours front upstairs window but is slightly higher than the copper which terminated on the side of property to the front. Both wires are higher than the top of the neighbours front upstairs window.

When I mentioned drilling from the outside into a (boarded and lit) first floor loft and then from there into the side bedroom the MJQ guy didn’t look happy. Once he had seen it and found the CCTV cable hole would accommodate the internal fibre cable he was happy. A cup of Yorkshire tea probably helped

I had to sort the voice reinjection from the SH2 to the existing extension wiring so the base unit of the BT Truecall 6800 still worked,

Thanks to TBB forums I could speak the same techie language

MJQ guy said the majority of the ONT are located in the lounge. Perhaps most people have internal network cable or don’t use a desktop in another room or use wifi devices? Who knows!

I think the majority of home broadband has everything connected via Wi-Fi which must account for a lot of people's complaints about their 'internet' being slow. If anything is connected via a cable then it's possibly only the things in the direct vicinity of the router such as a games console or a Sky box or similar.

Contractors don't like drilling outside in because they have no idea what is on the other side of the wall (or inside it). I am happy to drill outside in when doing things myself because I don't have any time constraints and the only person getting angry with me if I hit a pipe is me.

I was..
