Untouched could be misread by some as will remain in place (and used by new circuit) smile
I expect better from you Seb, you need to read my whole post and its very clear what I meant so its not ambiguous.

YourFibre will install all their own cable and equipment from the street to the router, the Plusnet/Openreach cable and equipment will remain untouched

people don 't always read posts carefully.. I'm just pointing out there's no point being annoyed.

Clearly not, I'll leave it there rather than say more that you can criticise. smile

I'm thinking of switching from Plusnet fibre to YourFibre are they are in my area and seem to have pretty good deals.

The question is, will the actual fibre cable that goes from the small grey box on my outside wall, to the small Plusnet box (that then goes into the router) be the same cable as that which Youfibre would install?

I have recently renovated, and the Plusnet fibre cable is now behind skirting and actually routed through a small wall, so replacing that cable could be problematic to say the least!


how many meters is this "plusnet fibre"?

is this it really fibre or ethernet?

You should use ducting if so but bear in mind bend radiuses. I have done something similar though through needs so understand the difficulty.


I tend to use "swept bends" rather than 90° or elbow and for 45° or similar, bend the conduit.

For the uninitiated - not you Seb!
Swept Bend
Elbow

an Inspection Elbow such as This can be a little tighter and the removable cap allows you to ease the fible or cable round.
