Anybody have full fibre fitted?
« on: Saturday 17 May 25 17:28 BST (UK) »

     Does anybody have any experience of an outside ONT box and an internal ONT box.

    Both have the same name so it can be confusing as both have to be fitted.

I thought that I'd replied  ???

I've just checked the outside one* but it's slightly different than the inside onewhich is an ONT box

* The outside one is  the junction box

 known as a “fibre box”, an ONT is installed inside or outside your building as the interface between the optical fibre infrastructure ... Non the wiser!!

It's a small box that links the outside junction box to your hub/router via ethernet. Stationed, usually near your hub. It has pretty lights on it.
If you don't have one, you don't have full fibre.

    No they are not the same but have the same name according to some  on google. ??? ??? ???

    As I understand it the outside one is a junction box, the fibre goes through the wall and

  connects to the ONT (Optical Network Terminal.)  If I understand it correctly, the inside box connects

     to the router and also needs connecting to a power point. 

           You are quite correct Gadget :D

    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?

As far as I know the fibre cable (under ground)  goes to the  junction box (on outside wall). A cable then runs from there to the wall adjacent  to where we have the hub. The ONT is on the inside wall*. This is permanently conected to elec point. An ethernet cable runs from the ONT to hub.  There are 3 pretty lights showing on the ONT

We have Full Fibre 900 with Halo 3+ 

Is that clear  :-\

* the cable goes through the wall to the ONT
