Currently, I don't have any FTTP, but I am thinking to the future where I might end up having an Openreach FTTP service for a while, alongside other providers (eg Netomnia, since they are building nearby).
Considering you need an ONT for each wholesale provider in a property, if their network has been built, it feels like it would get very difficult to keep all the ONT's powered 24/7, so the question is: if you are only getting internet services from one of the providers that has fitted an ONT in your house, is it normal to de-power all of the other ONTs that you are no longer using?
In my example, lets say Netomnia built out their FTTP network [after Openreach has done theirs] and I decide to move from my Openreach service to Netomnia [aka YouFibre], but I want their ONT to be placed next to the Openreach one: would I just simply unplug the Openreach ONT from the power supply and put the Netomnia one in its place? IE only powering the ONT that provides the service that I am actively paying for?
TIA for any answers on this one, I haven't been able to find much info on best practice with this.
