Re: Fibre is being blown into the roads!

In reply to a post by therioman:
Most likely scenario is someone else will buy the assets. If not, I guess Openreach might want to remove it at some point if they're no longer receiving rent. Suspect nobody has considered this long term yet as we've only really had operators get bought out in the main.

Another question that popped into my mind was ... If I have a service provided by AltNet (which will have their own wire from underground chamber to my wall and into the home) ... if I decide to leave the AltNet back to BT ... will the AltNet provider remove this wire (within my premises) when I cancel?

Most likely not. If they remove it and you (or someone after you) decides they want service then they would have to go to the expense of installing another one. Better for the provider to just leave them dormant and they get someone sign up again in the future.

The contract you sign with the Alt Net includes the ‘right’ for their equipment to remain in situ if you stop being a customer , that way the address , irrespective of your occupancy, remains connected to that network , you don’t need to keep their ONT powered , but the owner will have no right to request its removal of the equipment

Found one for CityFibre here ... they're using street cabinets and their own exchanges. I wonder if F & W Network has a similar network structure?

I know very little generally on this subject, but I do know that, round here, Netomnia have installed their core equipment into a single OR exchange and I suspect that this will be common in many cases. If installing more than a roadside cabinet of kit, land will be the trickiest (and most expensive) thing to acquire. Traditional exchanges are certainly going to have less kit in them in the future than once they did in the days of full copper deployments, so space will be going spare and will presumably be much cheaper than building their own.

I think this is the same for Openreach. That's why it's best to go with one provider and then stick otherwise you could have 2 or more wires which OH can start to look a bit messy!

Awaiting FTTP so using Starlink!

I think you guys would freak out at whats in my home.

Virgin media socket in living room.
Virgin media socket in bedroom.
BT copper socket in living room.
Cityfibre ONT in bedroom.

To me the more the better, lots of flexibility. Only issue with it all, is VM's cable outside feeding the bedroom socket isnt pinned to the wall and is loose on the ground, that bothers me, but all the other cables no issue at all.

Some progress...

Anyone know what this big big is/what's inside this largish box? It's definitely something to do with Fibre as it's got the FW written on it (F & W) and I asked the labourer and he said it's more "fibre installs".

Saw this being installed in the slightly larger BT chambers in the road vs the usual smaller ones.

Hello

To my delight I saw a bunch of foreign contractors (not able to speak English unfortunately) pulling and pushing a black coated thick fibre wire through the streets today.
Bloomin' furriners. Coming over here and blowing their fibres through our roads!
