Not sure why the alternative has to be something PoE capable. The existing has worked fine for a few hundred thousand installs. Something for consideration in the future as I’ve said but I can’t see either SFP or wires-only being a thing unless plugging the fibre into an Openreach approved router that they are able to provision. First of all, you might notice our engineers working nearby. Don’t worry, they’re just busy making sure our network is ready for you. Whilst no one needs to be in for this, a decision maker needs to be present when we install your connection. Internet search found post, that says Solved: FTTP 1 Stage Installation - BT Community and Solved: Neighbours Have FTTP I Don't - BT Community Seemingly upgrade of telegraph pole could be FTTP.
Ethernet connection is normal between Openreach fibre modem and Hub (Port 1 is where engineer will install). You're not alone in not understanding what it all means. I eventually looked up lots of the terms and made a post ("Technical Jargon") at https://community.plus.net/t5/Tech-Help-Software-Hardware-etc/Technical-Jargon/m-p/1919108/highlight... . We might also need also need to drill an extra small hole or two outside to work safely on our ladders. It will really help us if you can clear some space for us to work. And you’ll need your new router to hand when we get there. We’ll run a fibre optic cable, from a nearby telegraph pole or underground, to a small junction box on an external wall. For our premium managed installation, our engineers will set up a home or office to make the most of the service. That includes:As far as the other part goes I can’t say I’ve ever seen a PON solution where the customers / building owner provide their own pig tails between units and a fibre tray. I’ve seen point to point where this is the case and there’re an ODF in a basement with wires-only or managed router provision at the end but not where it’s PON to an SFP. Many other territories already work on the basis you have an ONT and router combined and you plug it in yourself. Some alt-nets in the UK also provide self-install, even as far as running a length of fibre cable across your garden from the connection point into your house.
I don’t think it will be too long before Trading Standards are involved in these ISP speed declarations. I don't know the size of the round barrel plug. It looked like 5.5mm outer diameter but the barrel was also half insulated along its barrel length. The hole through the centre of the plug might be common size: 2.1 or 2.5mm? These speeds look great on paper but the sad fact is that for the majority of users unless they are plugged straight into the router over a cat cable that can handle these speeds then these speeds will not be achievable for 99% of users. I should maybe have had the presence of mind to label that post with each of the jargon terms (much like you labelled yours with ONT).This ONT will likely contain the same circuit board as Nokia’s other router/Wi-Fi combined units, just with a lot of the PCB left empty, this is standard practice these days to reduce costs, use the the same BOM where you can and just leave stuff off not required, unless it works out cheaper to produce a smaller PCB due to the cost of the PCB itself and if quantities warrant it. Common-sense says a single port is more expensive if they are only making them for BT Openreach and the rest of the world is taking more 4 port models and/or they have a standard design to reduce costs. Connect to your router using an Ethernet (wired) connection and switch off the Wi-Fi on your computer. If the speed test results are okay when you're using the cable, it could be the Wi-Fi that's causing the issues As examples of smaller units with a just a single gig port, the Huawei EG8010 is only 83mm x 69mm x 28mm and draws only 2.5w with the Nokia 7368 ISAM ONT G-010G-Q being 89 mm x 82 mm x 27 but states >4w Of course the van supplier will allow me to do a test now and then which will shows that indeed the engine runs at 500mph and I’ll feel good. Then I’ll take the kid to school at 50mph feeling good that someday it might be 500mph.
Switch off anything else that's connected to your router, like other computers, consoles or devicesWithout exception every PON installation I’ve seen in the UK has been delivered via a full fibre run inside the building with a splitter node or several in the basement or comms room.
