Hello.
I am currently on an ADSL connection. According to this website my house is fiber ready.
https://www.homeandwork.openreach.co.uk/when-can-i-get-fibre.aspx
Exchange status: Fibre enabled
Cabinet number: 135
Now, if I was to upgrade from my ADSL connection to Fiber, would I still need an engineer visit? I was doing some research, and a lot of different information is provider, and it seems that things changed over the years.
My master socket in my house, has only 1 output where you can plug something. So right now I am using an ADSL microfilter. When I googled the fiber installation process, apparently, back when fiber became new, you would get an engineer who would upgrade the master socket to a vdsl one, and give you a openreach modem. Then I read, that in 2016 this has changed, and you don't need the master socket upgrade or a modem anymore, as all you will get is just a vdsl microfilter so no engineer is needed at all (apparently this is called self-install).
Could someone confirm for me what the actual process is nowadays?
Thanks.
