Current Status: Delay process 

 

 

 

Hi there, I just want to share my experience from scope to completion.

 

Fibre Installers:

 

Civtec Ltd & Ultrafast Fibre

 

Scope Process:

 

The technician from Civtec Ltd said, “the best option is to run the fibre line from the power pole to my property via underground and to install the external ETP on the front right side of the house.”

 

The external ETP location required me to remove an aloe vera plant.

 

The internal ONT location is in the hallway where the modem is located.

 

 

Delay Process:

 

1 week after the scope, my order is on hold due to requiring pole approval. It can take up to 4 weeks for a complete assessment to be undertaken.

why would you put the ONT in a hallway?

That's where my modem is located(central part of my house), the technician suggested the ONT be located in the lounge, which is closer to the ETP.

where the technician suggested makes more sense.

 

A hallway is not a great place for a fragile fiber cable to located

He didn't state anything about the fragility, he only said the presentation of the ONT doesn't look great.

ONTs belong in or next to comms cabinets

For asthetics, all networking gear should be out of sight :)

 

My VDSL etc came into the front bedroom (aka the "office") - but I asked for the ONT to be placed in the garage where my home server is - they were more than happy to do so, keeps the wife happy, and I've setup a shelf for everything to go on. Luckily I already had CAT5 running everywhere - thats the only downside to moving network gear, having the infrastructure in place to support the move.
