Hi,

No I understand the difference, the Openreach engineer was fairly new to the job, so I suspect it was the normal payment chamber node where the telephones lines was.........

Ahh well, never mind, hopefully Openreach decide to fibre up the rest of my street, now they have done the house just past mine.

The thing that I do not get is a Openreach engineer told me that where the AggNode was, and its only around 7meters away from my house, so I would have thought the quote would be much less.....but obviously not!!

It's possible that's where your *splitter* node is being located, and it will be connected to a fibre aggregation node some distance away.

I got something similar: I asked the original surveyor where the aggregation node was and he said "he'd put a new one nearby". In fact the new splitter is going to be nearby. Later I spoke to another engineer with maps in his hand, who showed me the aggregation node just over 1km away.

He is wrong about the properties passed being all those served by the splitter ...

Clearly nonsense.

If you mean my discount I listed as premises passed maybe so, as Cerberus did not say it was for premises passed, I just assumed it was..as it only said discount on my quote.


Doesn�t really matter though, there is no need to be so rude, treat the Internet forums as you would treat talking to someone in real life!

He wasn't rude to you in the slightest.

He's an OpenReach engineer and he simply told you his colleague was wrong and talking nonsense.

I'm not convinced the extra work (and cost to you) to enable every property on the splitter node would be covered by the measly £50 per property discount you will receive.
If I were you I would hope the surveyor's mistake is spotted as it could cost you.

I was not sure who the nonsense comment was made to, though I do think it�s a little rude still, but it does not matter.

I am not going ahead with the order, a little two expensive for me!, only hope at some point over the next few years they install native fiber

To be honest I was not sure

What does the internal termination equipment look like at the moment?

I have slight space issues so could do with working out where it should go, if i decide to order.

I can't seem to find the online leaflet however here's a picture which can give you a rough idea as you can see a master socket in the corner of the image.

Thanks.

Never thought of looking there!

Anyway, that looks mahoosive.

I guess that�s the one with the battery back in the case?

I read somewhere that they were no longer supplying them with batteries but I could be wrong.

Here are the dimensions in mm (H x W x D)

Enclosure - 252.4 x 215 x 39.5

The enclosure has space for the following

ONT - 134 x 115 x 25
BBU - 150 x 80 x 25
