Good morning and Happy 2022 everyone,
My current service (an ok FTTC connection) runs underground to my house as we have no wires running overhead, a common setup on my street FTTP has been put in but runs to the nearest telegraph pole rather than following the existing setup, this is around 70m away in a straight line and has line of sight issues with tree in the way. There is a transit pole closer on the other side of the road but this lengthens the run to 85m.
Both distances are measured on google maps and go to the closest side of the building, however the point i need the line to come in is round the other side so there is an additional approx 20m to run.
This sounds like quite a long run to me and if not over the maximum distance very much on the cusp, am I right in this assumption? I think the cable runs past the end of my drive (at least i saw OR engineers with it open when teh fibre deployment was happening) if it does , does anyone know if there's an option to get it wired from the manholes there ?
