Openreach FTTP?

Unless of course this is some sort of “special” arrangement between your building owner and Openreach. Otherwise by rights the customer demarc. is the Ethernet port on the ONT.

Hope your patching schedules are accurate and up to date! Who maintains the copper side from the ONT?

Have you seen this room full of ONTs, or are you a Hyperoptic customer?

It’s Openreach FTTP and there are only 5 ONTs as it’s a small block. The copper side was installed when the building was constructed and is maintained by the managing agent. The room is normally locked, but all residents have a key since electric meters are in there too.

In reply to a post by Skie:

Then why on earth do they even bother with PPPOE? It's an unnecessary processing overhead

PPPoE really needs to die in a fire to be completely honest. Don't think it's brought any benefit to anyone in years.

It doesn't really matter IMO. Baby jumbo frames ensure that you can still push 1500-byte packets across a link assuming your ISP knows what they are doing, and if ISPs can supply Technicolor routers for free that can push PPPoE at 1Gbps then there's no excuse for 3rd-party router manufacturers to not be able to offer the same sort of performance with their PPPoE implementations.

Just an update, I have had the service since 04/23 and it's been absolutely faultless but for one night around 2am for about 10 minutes, something seems to have gone down as I lost my public IP in my firewall. Outside of that one incident, i would highly recommend EE. I get 930/110 constantly even at busy times.

Yeah I've had a solid connection with them for well over a year now and they even accidentally sent me the signing up amazon gift vouchers too many times (yay). But I can't live with them adding RPI+made up percentage each year as the price is now getting silly. Off to youfibre for me when the build in my area finishes. £20 cheaper and 900 up as well as down!
