With Full Fibre installation, we’ll upgrade the master phone socket (the white box on the wall) and install an Openreach modem (ONT), which connects to the fibre optical cable that comes into your house.
The ONT enables you to get our fibre broadband and phone services, and connects to your BT Smart Hub.
How long does Openreach take to connect fibre
Typically, installation (of both elements) takes about two hours.
Does community Fibre use Openreach
We deliver 100% full Fibre-To-The-Home (FTTH) Unlike most providers, we build, own and operate our dedicated 100% full fibre network with the most advanced technology available.
So we don’t have to rely on Openreach’s or anyone else’s cables.
What happens if Openreach engineer didn’t turn up
In the case of missed appointments, a landline or broadband customer would be entitled to compensation if an engineer does not turn up for a scheduled appointment, or it is cancelled with less than 24 hours of notice.

How do I connect my Openreach fibre modem

Then, connect the black power cable to your Hub and your power socket.

EE broadband review: Coverage EE runs on the same Openreach network as EE and most other UK broadband services, which means it has exactly the same coverage.
Fibre services now reach 93% of the UK population, while over 6 million homes are able to connect to a full-fibre FTTP network.

How does Openreach make money
Openreach lays down and maintains the fibre-optic cables involved as well as operating the associated telephone exchanges, and then sells use of these services to individual internet service providers.
They in turn sell access to the public.

Openreach normally aim to fix reported faults within 3-5 working days of being notified of them, but that could easily lengthen due to bad weather causing high demand.

Why are Openreach in my street
Why is this? The Openreach availability checker checks to see if the street cabinet (the large green box on the street) is fibre enabled.
This means it has fibre capability and is ready to accept orders from all communication providers.
How does Fibre to the premises work
Fibre to the Premises runs over a fibre optic cable from the telephone exchange, all the way to inside your property.
The fibre from the exchange is normally terminated on the outside wall of a home, and a short fibre lead run inside to the fibre modem, which then offers an Ethernet connection to a broadband router.

You’ll choose your installation day when ordering FTTP. The router, and the TV box if you’re getting one, will be delivered before your installation.
You might notice engineers working near your home before the engineer visit. They will be getting the network ready to connect you and there is nothing you need to do.
How is Fibre optic cable installed
Fiber optic cable may be installed indoors or outdoors using several different installation processes.
Outdoor cable may be direct buried, pulled or blown into conduit or innerduct, or installed aerially between poles.
What happens when you change to fibre broadband

The tech will then run a cable from a nearby equipment box to the ONT, which will carry the fiber-optic connection from the larger network to your premises.
Why did Openreach split from BT
The legal separation of BT and Openreach was designed to address industry concerns that BT, as a provider of broadband services and owner of the UK’s largest broadband network, had the ability, incentive and propensity to favour itself when making investment and planning decisions, to the detriment of other network
How do they connect fibre to your house
The fibre cable will usually enter your property through the same point as your telephone line, which then connects to a modem to reach the signal.

What is Openreach pledge
The pledger (“You”) consent to allow Openreach (who manages the fibre network on behalf of BT as the fibre network owner) (“Us”) to use your voucher under the UK Gigabit Voucher Scheme which is part of Project Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme delivered by the DCMS (“GBVS Voucher”).
Can I install fibre optic myself
Since installing fiber most often requires laying a new cable and setting up specialized equipment, some fiber providers do not give the option for you to self-install fiber internet.
You must have a technician come to your home to set it up for you, which can be very expensive.
Do I need a new master socket for fibre
If you’re setting up your Fibre, you don’t need a special faceplate. We’ll send you microfilters to use with your existing socket.
However, you don’t need to worry about microfilters if your master socket has already had a broadband accelerator faceplate fitted (master socket with two sockets).
