My networking gear is located just off the hallway not on an external wall. When we built the extension I ran in some 15mm conduit from this room to the external wall just in case we ever got FTTP.

Ideally the coax and power will need to run through this.

Is there any links to pictures of what they install so I can ascertain if this would work?

Other option is to run the fibre all the way in and have the converter inside, but I've no idea if they'll do that.

I have no idea But they will put the wall box anywhere you like.

Basically this on the outside https://postimg.org/image/yv0n2sh2t/
This on the inside (with the NTE5 too) https://postimg.org/image/clmpw8lmd/

And then within a week you'll be ripping it out again as you will only get 3mbps peak times anyway.

Or maybe not - it's a lottery but with a 28 day money back guarantee at least

Thanks, I am concerned with the issues, but things do seem to have improved, and being a completely new area with full fttp ones hopes it will work well.

Those pictures are for the hybrid network, not FTTP.

FTTP terminates on a different box on the outside of the property, the fibre then routes to a powered internal box where it is converted to coaxial.

There's also a coaxial run in between the internal and external terminate boxes to allow power to be drawn from the internal and supply the external.

No NTE 5, no copper to terminate on one.

Sorry I missed the bit where FTTP was mentioned.

Thanks very much, so hopefully what I have will suffice.

Found this which shows some pictures of a VM FTTP install done very recently.

It's strange Virgin are still expanding their copper network.

Our area had Virgin laying the cables in the street in a similar situation where it was broadband/tv only, no phone line (no copper installed, VoIP on the Hub 3 not enabled).

It appears to just be a standard coax install which is strange but at first it was the same also where it was 200mb at launch however recently the 300mb appears to be available in York.

Engineers told me I was the 'first in the cabinet' and so I will get a better connection quality (I don't understand how this works)

The offers they were trying to push were ridiculously cheap as I'm on the 200/12 pkg with full TV and it's only £35. Not a fan of the cold callers trying to push it to you in person though.

From what I understand in existing areas where there is infill it will most likely be coax, new areas will likely be fibre to the box on your house wall then converted to coax to enter into the property.

If they are going to give cheap offers then they can phone me, my Toby box was installed this week.
