A question about FTTP installation

[#1]

@njay 

That would be the worst case scenario!

No electrical sockets in the garage, so the obvious (and neatest) solution would be to install through the dining room wall.

But how to route the cable under the driveway???

@H3len1707 The fibre cable will go through the current conduit, the same way as your copper cable does, and if you get a reasonable engineer they will use your already available drilled holes internally to route the internal cable. To be honest, you will have to see what the installer says on the day. Most of them will do their best to complete the job.

In all the noise it appears that post #11 has been ignored, maybe because you do not like the answer to your question?

You do not need two fixed mains sockets, an adapter or extension lead will work fine.

Thanks Baldrick1.

It's not a case of my ignoring or disliking answers.This is all new to me and I'm just trying to make sense of it.

I've seen two references to a requirement for a double socket and was hoping that an extension lead would be ok. Thank you for confirming that.

I'm just being cautious because if I get it wrong I'm going to be offline for an unknown length of time... to be honest I wish BT wasn't switching off the copper network. I'm perfectly happy with the way things are and I'd rather not be going through this learning curve.
