Not sure why the alternative has to be something PoE capable. The existing has worked fine for a few hundred thousand installs. Something for consideration in the future as I’ve said but I can’t see either SFP or wires-only being a thing unless plugging the fibre into an Openreach approved router that they are able to provision. For the majority of internet users in the UK, the main alternative broadband provider who uses its own network and doesn’t rely on Openreach is Virgin Media. Of course, there’s also the opportunity to jump onto a 4G or 5G mobile broadband network. It’s a costly alternative, but satellite broadband is an option too. First of all, you might notice our engineers working nearby. Don’t worry, they’re just busy making sure our network is ready for you. Whilst no one needs to be in for this, a decision maker needs to be present when we install your connection.
This whole thing is, as I’ve said, much more akin to cable / HFC network layout than point to point fibre and has to be considered in that way. The only reason cable operators in the USA allow customers to connect their own equipment is because they’re legally obliged and they hate doing it. If we can't find a fault or fix the problem online, we'll give you the option to book an engineer appointment.

It will really help us if you can clear some space for us to work. And you’ll need your new router to hand when we get there. We’ll run a fibre optic cable, from a nearby telegraph pole or underground, to a small junction box on an external wall. Switch off anything else that's connected to your router, like other computers, consoles or devices Previously, Openreach was owned by BT. This explains why it was, and still is, known to many as 'BT Openreach'. However, since 2017 it runs as a separate company, although one that’s still a subsidiary of BT group. Here's a helpful guides to see you on your way: 'Switching to a provider on the Openreach network'. Expert Summary Cables, poles, cabinets and manholes are looked after by Openreach. Openreach want to know if any part of their network (outside the boundary of your property) has the potential to be a danger to the general public.
Following pressure from MPs and BT’s competitors, a review was set up by the UK’s telecoms regulator, Ofcom. It was concerned that as BT owned the network most other broadband providers used, it held a monopoly over the UK telecoms industry, as well as an unfair advantage. There was also criticism that faults weren’t being fixed for competitor internet service providers (ISPs) as fast as they were for BT. Calls were made for BT to put its local access network (LAN) up for sale, but instead, the decision was made for this network to be a completely separate entity. To this day, it’s still owned by BT group, and Ofcom regulates this to make sure all communications providers can still access this network fairly.

If you're having trouble with your broadband speed the device you’re using could be the cause of the slow speed. If possible try using another device to see if you’re having a similar problem on that one too. For properties build before 2000 - we'll need a copy of the Asbestos register for the building from the Freeholder (Landlord). This can be either a digital or a scanned copy of the register which has been counter-signed, dated and shows the printed name of the Freeholder/Managing Agent or Legal Representative. The completed document can be sent to [email protected].
