I'm trying to find out more about the physical and logical network designs (generic only) for OpenReach's FTTP network. High-level concepts will be fine for most of it, but I'm looking for a terminologically-correct explanation from house to exchange to next-hop from the exchange covering everything (e.g. what they call the underground chambers in the street, how the fibre is physically connected, how it would be physically presented in the exchange, what it plugs into, how different ISPs can send my broadband data along the same fibre as others. One particular thing I'm trying to look into is that I was just told by Sky that there was no space at the exchange for me to move to their service, and it strikes me as odd that, in a pure fibre service, space is an issue (unless it's logical space of course).
To put me in context, I have designed and managed Cisco-based LANs, so I guess I'm trying to map the associated concepts onto OpenReach's service. I'm familiar with things like DWDM too.
