Does not need a pysical path from teh neighbours though. Ubiquiti has their UISP range - easily transmit Gbit over a km from ONT to a gateway and not too expensive either. I have a 300Mbps wireless link - equipment cost under £100


Fair point, that could be a solution but you'd need active equipment.

You could find a communications provider who could establish what the excess charges for providing service to the property will be

Although note that won't be normal "FTTP"


Hmm? Normal FTTP has ECCs if the build is complex.


Depends on what you mean by "normal" but fair point smile

But if terminating a fibre connection at a friendly neighbour, that would need power too.

Not if you patch the fibre wink

True. But paying for power will be way easier.

patching the fibre from the neighbour would be one route - and if theres an issue bring the ont back to the connecting point.

a super janky hack but for fibre it works

it might be worth looking at contacting or and saying "my neighbour can get fttp but i can't" and when you get a reply expain the situation and go from there.

If your parents own the land - i would sugget they duct the path back and put that to or.

You may have a journey (and pulling hair out ) in the process though.

Depends if the parents have the appetite to do the work themselves or pay someone to do it, it wouldn't just be ducting as its over 200m in length so would need a joint box somewhere in the middle.

yeah i was expecting a joint box needing to be put in but i didn't want to add that, as i might have been wrong it that suggestion. OR can supply joint boxes as this would be classed a new build (effectively)

As you said, depends on the person and their need for fttp and the reality of a potentially a wait. You can't really do do overhead even though OR can order 300m spoils of fibre to conect a premise because you need to insert 12+ poles frown .

They used to do a 300m connectorised cable on special a few years back.

Received a letter just the other day ..
