Hi All
Just waiting on getting my final fibre connection from CSP to ont ,which is almost back to back with each other ,what happens to the remaining fibre that openreach don't use ,can it be left with me for future use incase I which to reposition my ont unit and I can then re-splice ( I am fibre trained),or do have to get openreach back as my new position will probably be at the opposite end of the house and the easiest route is through my attic as I love in a bungalow
Any body com across this situation

Nothing been done internally only the CSP fitted externally
You can ask the installer to locate the ONT anywhere within reason. If they don't fancy it, ask them to leave a long loop of excess in/out cable and the terminal dust cover, then you can run it to the back yourself later.

Bare in mind, they usually cut the outer sheath back to a white inner after it enters your property, so ask them to keep the outer on for all but a few inches from the SC terminal.

Think the longest kit Openreach have is 30m, but more likely to only have the 10/20m kits onboard.

Personally I would try and get the indoor termination in the final location. If you can arrange a conduit and draw wire to the preferred location you might be able to get it run through to there on installation.
