Anybody have full fibre fitted?

    So Gadget, is your junction box fitted to an outside wall and then an hole drilled through the wall

     and the fibre connected to the ONT box. And does this box need a power point?

I have the junction box on the outside and then a hole drilled into the wall but,no junction box inside

heburn There is only one junction box - the inside one is the ONT.

Do read my previous reply.

Mine works very well and is as I've described.

It's actually carrying this message at the moment

    So the outside box is so they can fiddle about with it without entering the house.

     The other thing mentioned to me is that my landline will be digital and needs the broadband

    on if I want to use it. If the power goes off, or the broadband goes down, the phone doesn't work.

Yep - when we had that 3 hr power cut a while ago we had no phone and had to use the smart phone  - keep it charged!  I think there is some kind of back up power supply that you can get but haven't found it so far.

On mine the underground fibre cable is green. That terminates in the junction box and a black fibre cable goes through the house wall to the ONT inside the house. The ONT converts the Fibre optical signal to an electrical signal.

Exactly as Gadget described.

Tomkin - going back to  digital telephones. 

I think you have to declare that you are 'vulnerable:

I have Full Fibre installed.

Outside in my garden there is a connection box for our part of the estate, from there a cable goes to other nearby residents and to our house where it is connected to an external box on our wall.

Inside there is one cable going to the the Router and from the Router there are two cables, each going to a TV box that we have in each of our two Lounges.

Ours is Virgin Media, but another company is presently installing another cable system in our vicinity, they installed the cable in our Road last week.

Our Virgin Router is dual band WiFi and that led to a problem, the Ring Video Doorbell that we had would not connect to either of the available WiFi bands so it has been changed to a device that does not require a subscription.

Hope this helps.
