Considering moving to fibre from my current ADSL2 setup.  Primarily for the fact we have heaps of devices, kids and the mrs all accessing the net at similar times and for the first time I'm starting to notice lag and delay / slow speeds when multiple devices, Ipods, Netflix, etc is accessing the net.   Prior to me doing anything, would the fibre connection improve the above?  I currently get about 14 down and 0.5 up on the ADSL2 connection.

I can see where the current telecom connection enters the house - 15 year old build - on the outside of the internal garage wall closest to the road and presume the ETP will also be in the same spot.

My current setup has the house fed from a gigabit switch in my study that feeds various sockets around the home as well as wireless via the router.  Upon reading various bits and pieces I am seeing some recommendation that the ONT is placed on the far side of the wall to the ETP and the distribution panel, patching etc will run from that cabinet.

1) Do you know if there is an issue in placing the ONT in a different room in the home which in this case would be about a straight line distance of 10 to 12 metres from where the connection is terminated outside the house or should I be installing the kit in the garage?

2) How are the phones connected if they kill the current copper connection ?  Will I need to rewire them back to the new star panel as well ?

3) I'm on a shared back section driveway so will need consent. Does the installer have the option of pulling the fibre up the copper conduit or will they trench and lay new stuff? Just so I can give the neighbours a rough idea of what might happen if and when they sign the consent form etc.

Thanks for any help
