FTTP - box installed outside house


[link to this post]
 
I can a successful FTTP Community scheme with Openreach. Been loads of work going on over last 6 months but today this box was installed at the front of my property. Does this mean its almost ready? Anyone got any experience of how long it becomes available on the checker once this box is installed?

That is your CSP (customer splice point)

Have you actually ordered already ? Seems odd they would do this if you haven’t.

No one has ordered yet, its still unavailable according to the checker.

They have done this today to every house included in the campaign. The engineer said the idea is when you do come to order everything is ready and installation is super quick.

Then that sounds very positive.
Is the installer still in the vicinity ? Could you just ask if it is lit yet ?

If no further detail is forthcoming, just keep checking the availability checker daily.

What did they have against the capping covering the cables up?

A bit odd, those CSP’s are designed to fit snugly on top of the 101 capping … leaving little or no cables on show.

Is it the photo or did the engineer leave his spirit level at home??

A very poor installation, the box is too high so the cables are exposed and rather wonky, i.e. not level. If it was at my house I would have to do something about it.

My thoughts exactly, it doesn’t take much to level something, even by eye using the brick line!
