In reply to a post by Zarjaz:
both current ONT’s I have seen installed, the Huawei and the Nokia
When you get a work request does it specify what type of ONT should be installed?


Yes, I have read where engineers have fitted the wrong ONT then had to change it.

How do you find out which brand specific supplies the customer.

Can it be accessed by the public.?

I believe only Sky and Virgin Mobile support WiFI calling.


... Three do wifi calling although I've just moved from them to PlusNet (EE) after I got an email which set my back up when they said I would be "moved to a contract unless they heard from me.".

I too am in position of poor mobile signal, no wifi calling, and TalkTalk looking like they will not support 'landline' of any sort. At the moment am considering porting number to Sipgate before my FTTP is installed.

I went to AAISP, around £1.20 a month for line, calls extra. I use a Cisco SPA-112 ATA.

A friend of mine moved from Plusnet to Three because EE turned off a (tiny) transmitter near his home, and his indoor coverage is now useless on all networks. C’est la vie!

How do you find out which brand specific supplies the customer.

You have to look at the head end manufacturer on the fibre routing screen within the MyJobs app.
Can it be accessed by the public.?

‘ course not. 😊

But EE offer wifi calling .... in fact that’s the reason I switched to them in the first place.

Yes, but Plusnet (an MVNO on EE) don’t. He was with Plusnet. Three was cheaper than EE.

That could be difficult even if they wanted to make it public.

An exchange can have 2 different OLT manufacturer in it providing FTTP.

A street could be connected to a Huawei OLT while the next street down on a more recent deployment could be on a Nokia OLT.
In that scenario 2 people ordering on the same day from 1 Street away would both get different ONT's.
