He will be coming into your house to fit a filtered faceplate, plug in a modem that he brings with him and make sure its working and that you are connected

He will also do some work at your BT cabinet where he will connect the incoming fibre line to your outgoing copper line. It's at this stage where your phone line will go dead for a few minutes.

nice! at the moment with be i have their router. Its a Technicolor TG582n, but the upnp and other things on it are really dire. So i have it bridged over to a apple time capsule. This does all the routing wifi and everything, i have stuff setup on my network with static addresses. Can i plug my apple device into device that the engi is bringing with him? Does it use PPOE or something?
Thanks for your help so far!
Thanks

Yes, you can use your Apple Time Capsule to connect into the BT modem using PPPoE. If in your current bridging setup you have it logging in using PPPoE then it should work in the new fibre setup as is.
That's RPM to you!!
