If they are running fibre from the premises to the edge of the farm, surely also running a mains cable is easy?

That's an option, yes. May not be cheaper.

So its all about power supply where you hand over the service.

Ive made some enquiries and found out you can have an unmetered electrcity supply from the electricity board so long as the power consumption is under 500 watts.

Seems this is the first thing to enquuire about. Would only need to power the openreach modem and a router.

That's interesting.

How much for connection?

So much for boiling a kettle with electricity then!

Edit: oh, this isn't for a house

That is a question I will ask tomorrow...

you could have the router at the farm, use a media converter to connect the ethernet over the fibre to the OR modem.

Did you get an answer?
