FTTP is overground or underground?

[#1]

I'm hoping it's overground as otherwise I can't have it. 🙁

[#2]

How is your current (presumably FTTC) service provided?

[#3]

@Kryten the BT wholesale checker  https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL/AddressHome will tell you if FTTP is available and if so, the narrative under the availability matrix will say how its supplied

[#4]

Thanks guys for the response. I currently have FTTC and copper to the house.

[#5]

But - is it fed overhead ?

[#6]

Sorry, yes it is.

[#7 · Accepted solution]

Then your FTTP connection will follow the same route.

[#8]

@Kryten what does the checker say ?

[#9]

I'm just looking to find it now MisterW.

[#10]

Is this a yes?

[#11]

Dunno, until the picture gets released from 'government control'.

[#12]

There you go John, I'll let you answer😁

It is a yes - no problems to install FTTP for you.

Thank you gents.

Although the fibre follows the route of the copper wire (and may replace it if you ask them) there is some lee way as to where the internal ONT goes. It needs a power source but doesn't have to be where the current Master Socket is - if it's technically feasible. You only find out on the day when you speak to the installer.

The router is connected via ethernet cable so can go anywhere you're happy to run said cable.
