Nexfibre - Rollout Discussion

I take it if I eventually got Nexfibre, CF wouldn't just be able to use the Nexfibre cable, but hook it up to their system?

Seems like a brain dead stupid question, but I thought I'd ask, could they use the same duct? I really wouldn't want them to dig up my front garden again, if I can help it (II don't know where the cable runs)

The brown old VM Box at the side of my house seems to just go into the ground

CF can't use the Nexfibre cable or the VM duct. Given you've an existing VM duct you aren't going to have Nexfibre build to you, you'll have VM then whatever they decide to do with their network company once they've spun the network off. They may have Nexfibre acquire it.

When you get XGSPON to your area from the network company or whatever they're calling it they'll install using your existing VM duct.

CF will probably try and install using the existing Openreach duct or pole. Unless there's a CityFibre Toby outside your property that'll likely be how they roll.

Thanks, I am sorry for being a bone head
 
We all had to start somewhere and learn along the way so don't be hard on yourself :)
I’m just waiting for the “UK’s most reliable network” to come back online…. I’m not sure Vodafone via CF will be any better

But I’m paying an early disconnection fee to Virgin

It’s been spotty for the last few weeks and finally failed

if its failing, don't pay anything.
I wish it worked that way, I really do, but unfortunately it doesn’t

O2 allowed me to leave fee free last year due to terrible service, so I paid the last month I had used and cancelled the DD, they they sent me to debt collection after I’d not paid what I owed them supposedly

It’s cheaper for me to pay the disconnect fee than it is for me to continue to pay to stay with them 😂

Keep making complaints untill you can leave, it is possible.
 
What is the process for ordering VM FTTP via Nexfibre? Install currently rolling through our town, each property has a little black VM02 cover on the pavement, what is the process on getting that connection from the pavement into the property? (it has been dug, not via pole) Is that done between order and the install date? Any info on that would be great. thanks
 
You place the order, they run the cable. Possibly before the data arranged for the indoor install which can be annoying with VM, as if you're out they tend to do the job anyway without trying to contact you, meaning your outdoor box ends up in a silly location, or attached to the wrong house.

yeah as jpm said, say you ordered on 1st, your install would be like 2 weeks away, and before that time external work would be completed up to your property, this is a totally new line, so if you know its coming, I highly recommend doing some prep inside, make it as invisible and intergrated as possible. Your thank yourself later on for doing it.

If you read from the 1st of Feb onwards you'll get an idea of timelines etc..

We were recently covered by Nexfibre and with VM the engineers they outsourced to ran the fibre through the existing BT/Openreach duct around 2-3 days after I placed the order and put a brown VM box on the outer wall. The actual VM engineer on the install date then just ran another fibre cable from the box on the outside wall in through the wall into the house then.
 
thanks for the replies. Not seen anything that would explain what would happen in our scenarios. The have come to the end of the drive, how do they get from the pavement to the house? (5-6m driveway). I do have a duct under my drive from the BT pit on the but most people do not. We don't have any poles on these roads.
 
Is that your duct or Openreach? I don't think VM, generally, use OR ducts, so will probably need to dig up your driveway or find some way up to your house.

VM used the existing OR duct in our case. Their fibre came into the existing BT66 and then then fed into their own brown box from there.
 
Oh there we go then :) I stand corrected.
 
Nexfibre & Openreach have both descended on Bridgnorth in the past 2 weeks and currently fighting to roll their full fibre networks out. It's like a wild west of telecom vans on every street. Speaking to Openreach outside our offices a couple of weeks back, they said they had had the heads up that Nexfibre was coming and they were throwing teams at the town....less than a week later Nexfibre engineers arrived.

Bridgnorth is a completely new area for VM as they have never offered any cable services in the town before. From what I can see they are rolling their network right into some rural areas outside the town too, almost half way to Kidderminster, so covering all the outer villages. Interesting times.
