Re: New Build Woes

Hello again, firstly the power did go in... not many steps to go now but there is a rather large pull of fibre required to the site, will keep you posted how the work goes.

As for your property, the internal cable leaving the building should be housed in an omni box, we have white versions to match the render of the building so you wont need a brown box. The install engineer will fit this for you and tidy up the external cabling. The rope you can see disappearing into the stones will lead down a 2" duct and into the main distribution network cabinet nearby (well as far as the chamber at the cabinet anyway). Don't worry about the end of the cable, it will all be trimmed back and tidied up.

*Edit* That black box you refer to is actually an inspection point for the drains in your garden, it looks like the ground worker hasn't fitted the termination box as per the specification, this is quite common but not an issue.

It doesn't look like our standard euro module units have been used if we have been put in the media plate, looks like our connection is the top row (bottom row is terrestrial and satellite), if that connection has been put in for us then we wont use it, we will change it out for one of our branded euro model sockets.

The VM branded blanking plate is actually your master phone point, in some regions we get the developer to wire both a master BT socket and our master Telco into a double gang backbox, its a much tidier end finish and makes switching lines easier as well for installs.

Hope that helps, drop me a message if you need any more help and I will keep you updated with the progress of the fibre node build for the site.
