In reply to a post by think26872:

I am considering getting FTTP from Openreach/BT and are served by a pole.

I understand that a box will be attached to the outside wall of the property but does this box need to be put on top of the drilled hole into the property?

Can this box be attached on the outside wall and the hole into the property be drilled away from / near this box?

Thanks

Yes this how mine was installed, i wanted the ONT high up the kitchen wall as i have a shelf for the modem near a double socket on this wall (see picture below) , the engineer said the outside box would have to be low as he needed to splice the cable but i could have the hole where the cable enters the house wherever i wanted it.

This i a rough pic of my set up - https://ibb.co/6s39n7F
