Hi all,

 

In 2 weeks i have the first appointment for getting fibre installed.

 

My current modem/router is setup in my lounge. All the other phone jacks in the house are unreliable, the lounge is the only stable connection. From there i have 2 ethernet cables connecting to my office and the sleepout.

 

My query is when the fibre is eventually installed can i still have the new fibre modem in the lounge to service the above? I heard it gets installed at the first incoming phone jack which i doubt is the lounge and for the ethernet cable setup is useless.

 

Any feedback appreciated.

Within reason you can specify where you want the ONT. It is certainly not common practice to install it neat the 1st phone jack (and would only be put there is somebody specified it). The Chorus recommendation is to install it near the main TV if people are uncertain as this is typically the entertainment hub of the home.
