Hi
I am considering switching from Virgin to Toob and was hoping for some advice on installation before I sign up please.
I don't fully understand what parts of the current BT openreach line will be replaced by toob and what options there are for where it comes into the house.
Currently the BT line is fed from a telegraph pole across the road to the top left when facing the front of the house, it then drops down and comes in to the room upstairs on the left under the floorboards and goes into a small junction box to join to a telephone cable (4 pair if I recall) that then runs under the floorboards along the landing and then somehow drops downstairs into the rear of the hallway below where there is a BT openreach socket on the wall.
Will toob need to replace the cable from the telegraph pole and also the cable within the house all the way to the BT socket with their own fibre? Because I really don't want to have to lift all the floorboards up.
If that is the case can I ask them to move the line from the telegraph pole to the other side of the house?
I have done a lovely drawing of the house. Purple line is existing one and green is proposed. Currently the Virgin broadband enters the house at ground level on the right hand side so if they could run it down the side of the house and in next to that it would be much better for me.
If they can't move the fibre from the telegraph pole are they able to go through into the loft area and install the router up there? I have a router up there acting as a wireless AP that is cabled to the virgin router downstairs and so I could basically swap them over, have the toob router in loft and AP in living room?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
