As well as working on installing equipment in our exchanges, we’re also overlaying part of our existing copper network (the part between exchanges and green cabinets) with fibre. And we’re running fibre direct to homes and businesses too. This involves lots of civil engineering work – in lots of different, and sometimes hard to reach or remote, locations. Think of it like a motorway, you can have a really fast car, but if the motorway is very busy you can only go as fast as the traffic will allow. I think you will find most, if not all, FTTP connections will be providing the phone service via VoIP. In fact by 2025 even the few copper services left by then will also go VoIP as the old equipment is removed from the exchanges.

The fact there will be a cabinet en route with power, is that a factor or is it just the limits of the service creation environment?Does anyone know if the ONT passes the VLAN tag of 101 to the ISP or is this the responsibility of the router?

Mini UPS to ensure power continuity for connected equipment during power outages. An affordable and compact UPS providing power to Internet routers, IP cameras, Home assistants and Smart controllers Can anyone confirm the input voltage and current requirement for the new Optical Network Terminals that are being fitted into domestic premises for the BT FTTP service and also size of the power plug, as I am thinking of getting a minin UPS to power my ONT and have my eye on this particular device:-I recognise those Huawei CPEs. I live abroad now – for FTTP they provide a router which takes the optical cable directly but to use your own router you need one of these little boxes. They’re very reliable, I have to admit. No issues with it and very minimal set up. Works well with the VLANs used for delivering TV service (BT TV for example). The Government is also supporting investment to get fast broadband coverage to as many people as possible. There are lots of different schemes available which might work for you: From there, a much smaller cable will be run inside to a small, powered, wall-mounted unit that we’ll plug your router into. Finally, we’ll test your full fibre connection on one of your preferred devices to make sure you’re totally happy, so you can start making the most of a faster, more dependable connection than ever.

This doesn’t mean we can’t do anything though. We’re always looking at ways to overcome these limitations. Per my comment to NGA C+ optics with FEC provides a reach of 58km on a 4:1 split. The other 40km will be the 10G Ethernet link from the subtended OLT to the headend. Below are six simple steps to help improve your wireless Internet signal: 1 - Find a central locationRural doesn’t come with permission to break the constraints of the past. The same rules apply everywhere, Openreach don’t get to randomly invent new non-standard products because of gap funding, that’s within the gift of alternative networks.
