Thanks for the update Swish_Fibre!
An IPv6 estimate of under 12 months is great news. I'd be absolutely happy to test as well if I can get signed up soon after we move.

The actual connection into the router still confuses me somewhat. My router is an EdgeRouter ER-X-SFP so I can easily throw an SFP/GBIC of some flavour into the SFP port.
From what I understand most domestic FTTP/GPON connections require an adapter (ONT?) to take the physical fibre connection, perform some de-mux/auth, then output ethernet.
Is the ONT provided as a separate unit to the router by ISPs?
So even though I have an SFP socket, I imagine I still use the ISP's ONT then GbE to my router.

Cheers, B

It’ll be a copper GbE port on their ONT that you take into your router.

5) What is the connection that arrives into the property... is it fibre LC/SC or cat5/6 RJ45?
10 Gbps XGS-PON SC/APC connector

Adtran ONT?

We partner with Adtran for our optical and router hardware.

No problem at all.

Feel free to DM me when you go live and we can talk further about IPv6.

The ONT is currently a separate/mandatory unit.

@Chris Do you have any planned dates for Bourne End yet? I've been able to pre-order but not had an indication of any timeframe yet

Just had a letter through the door about Swish Fibre digging up my road in Beaconsfield, and like clockwork they've been working quick!!

I'm out of contract on Sky Broadband, had a chat to the workmen (super friendly guys) and there digging out and doing my road for Swish.

Do you know when parts of Beaconsfield will go live, I'd rather not give out my address on the forum, but I'm tempted. (I reckon I could do battle with a mobile broadband SIM for a couple of months)

Or just pay the out-of-contract price on Sky for a couple of months - the markup is probably cheaper than buying an unlimited data SIM on a short term deal.

Or take FTTC from one of the providers with 1-month contract (but there will likely be a setup fee).
