It looks like we are going to be upgraded to FTTP in the next few months. I was wondering if anyone had experience of this? How accommodating are the Openreach engineers?
The Openreach equipment can't go where the current master socket is (in the loft with no power sockets handy).
Ideally we need the fibre run through eaves space to the study where we can get power and direct connection to the router. It isn't too difficult to get along the eaves, steep roof with a good sized crawl space behind the walls.
Hopefully if this can be done I can back feed the voice circuit to the existing phone wiring leaving it virtually as it is.
The fibre setup doesn't offer the DIY options that a wired setup does. I currently have a filtered splitter faceplate on the master socket with Cat 6 taking voice and data to the study.
