I live in a rural location on the Isle of Wight and after over 6 years of a guaranteed broadband speed of 0.4 mb/s, Openreach have just installed FTTP to the distribution pole at the top of my drive and will be installed on 8th Sept.
My question is, when the cable is installed from the post to the gable end of the house (a single storey old railway station), is there an external connection box or can the cable be routed through a hole in the wall just below the strain relief bracket and connected directly to the ONT in my study, a run of about 5 metres from the entry point.
The current copper cable takes a rather tortuous route around a gutter and under the tiles into the loft ...
Thanks .. Andy
