Re: FTTP ordered! - Previously a not spot!


[re: PaulKirby] [link to this post]
 
Install completed earlier this week. Took about two hours as the fibre had already been run to my front door and I�d already setup the new smart hub.

BT FTTP - Superfast Fibre 3 Unlimited. 205 Mbps down / 24 Mbps up.

New build estate that wasn�t given anything I�d call broadband. First four years 1.6 Mbps ADSL. Following two years, and after many openreach visits, 4.3 Mbps!

That's not bad for 200Mbps and I assume 20Mbits up, especially for the weekend.

Nice and congrats smile

I think you can only see the prices of you can get an fttp service.

They appear to have changed all the product names too since I ordered back in April

145Mbps down is £59.99 Inc line rental (£54.99)
300Mbps down is £64.99 Inc line rental (£59.99)

50Mbps down is £52.49 Inc line rental (£29.99)
67Mbps down is £58.99 Inc line rental (£39.99)

And there's a few other options for lower speeds aka essential and plus packages (guaranted speeds)


Price in brackets is the offer price at the moment, first 18 months.

Not much to show. No box outside as it�s terminated inside these days.

This is the internal wall mounted box

http://tinypic.com/r/35n6g78/9


Inside that there�s the openreach modem and a battery backup unit.

Seen here https://www.ispreview.co.uk/wp-content/gallery/bt-op...
(Taken from https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2018/05/protec...)


The only cables running out of the outer box are the CAT6/7 to the BT Smart Hub and the power lead.


The smart hub has 4 Ethernet ports, but one of them is used for the modem, so fewer ports for stuff compared with my last router. I�ve purchased a network switch to overcome that issue.



This is how they used to do it, so it�s much better now! Much tidier!

This video shows a bit more on the install, not my video, just one I found a few weeks before my install was due.

Do you live in a flat? If so did they terminate the fibre in the basement of the building and run ethernet to each flat or did they run an actual fibre cable to your flat and terminate it there. ?

No, I live in a house.

The fibre was terminated in my living room, on the wall behind the tv.
