The race between my "ACCESS" text and the installers was won by the installers! They've been and gone.
I now have a grey Openreach CSP box mounted on an external wall. It's slimmer than I expected.
They called when I was in and so I got to speak with them, they wanted to know where my router was (on the extension socket) and I explained where I wanted it to end up being (next to the BT landline master socket) . They have left it as a problem for the ONT installer to route the incoming cable through two walls via an external cupboard.
So no internal CSP but the ONT should end up on a wall adjacent to the current BT landline socket. A nice compromise as that means I can still get my hands on the eventually unused Openreach NTE and see if I can use the landline extension cable to perhaps pull an Ethernet cable through to the router/PC's current location. Meanwhile I will simply use the already tested 5GHz Wi-Fi link to get from the router's eventual new location to the PC.
