😮

No they feed the cable from inside out and spliced it outside. 😎👍

Yep, a lot different. We hope that you get sorted soon mate.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi there. Nothing, they are the same thing, it's just a naming convention. FTTP = Fibre To The Premises and FTTH = Fibre To The Home.

@@RLSComputerServices is there something beyond fttp you can get ie let says 10,000mbs down and between 500-1000 upload?

I've not experienced anything like that here in the UK. There is a 2.5Gbps product coming soon (if not already here). I don't know too much about it yet, though.

@@RLSComputerServicesin which case lastly what company has the highest upload speed Thats the main thing I'm interested in which companys would you recommend currently bt full fibre 900 down with 110 ish upload its good but can they go any higher

​@slantedlustre404 , you ask a lot of good questions. If upload speed is all you are interested in, then Lightspeed must be a consideration with a 1Gbps upload speed in the UK. There are other things to take into consideration, like usage and configuration. But if you are a basic home user and not a pro user, then that's what I would go for.

That would be wise.

Hi there, no we are not using Lightspeed at the moment. There were some technical reasons behind our decision. This was due to control and configuration issues of the router.

Hi, did you get your appointment in the end?

@@RLSComputerServices I cancelled it in the end - they did phone me a few days ago with a very good offer - just got to decide if it's worth a 2nd go.

@@stevealharris6669 what kind of offer, if you care to share?

You still need an ONT. This actually acts as a modem converting your network digital signal into light.

Hi there! It's wonderful that you're considering Youfibre for your internet needs. In the videos, you can see that most of the installation work is done outside, which I am sure Youfibre is the same. However, when it comes to connecting the router, a technician will likely need to come inside. Rest assured, they'll likely follow all necessary safety protocols, including wearing masks, to ensure your protection during the installation process. Feel free to reach out to Youfibre's customer support for more specific details tailored to your situation. Best of luck with the switch, and stay safe! Cheers!

@@RLSComputerServices Hi. Thanks for your reply. The pole is just about 3m from my house, it’s actually in my garden so they can come in the patio doors to install, and I don’t need to go in the living room for as long as it takes, week or even a month. I’ve got a very comfortable kitchen to sit in, so no worries there, it’s just that I’ll need all the information off the bottom of the router so I can Connect to the internet for everything like shopping, cctv cameras and paying bills. Only thing I can think of is if he puts the box on its side at the door so I can take a photo of all the info I’ll need to connect. And also worried about the reliability of this new provider? Anyway, thanks again for your reply. Much appreciated! Cheers.

@@marley2319 They should come off the pole and bring the fibre cable down the wall to where ever you want it (within reason). The engineer should connect the router and test it for you and leave the WIFI connection details for you on a card or a sticker on the bottom of the router. Again, my advice would be to check with Youfibre first and before they come out on their procedure. Hope this helps 😎👍

@@RLSComputerServices Thank you. Very helpful indeed. Kind regards.

Also the splice shouldn't be touched for at least 90secs after the splice protector sleeve has been shrunk

Yeah when splicing a 288 straight through I always do an arc test before every splice and never touch the splice proctor for 90 seconds 🙄. That's probably why splicing a 288 takes 4 days.

who cares😂😂😂

The cut fibre pieces collect into a small bin beside the cleaver on the splicer

If you are having the ONT (modem) in the loft, then you will need to run a network cable to where you want the router. This can be upward to 90m of CAT6 cable, so you will be fine at 15m.

It’s an ilsintech swift kf4a

Hi Nick. Remember, it's Openreach, not BT. Openreach install a box externally called a CSP (customer service point) which then goes into an ONT where the fibre finally terminates. The reason for the ONT is so that an ethernet cable can run from there to the many different routers on the Openreach network. A customer may be with BT and another may be with EE. Same ONT but means another router can just be plugged onto the end of it. At Lightspeed it's only one service and one service only coming down the pipe. So, no need for a separate ONT and router. Hope this helps

A great question. This depends if your current feed comes from a pole or underground. If above ground from a pole, then the fibre will take the same route as that. If it comes up from underground ducting, then again it will follow that route. Hope this helps.

Depends on the height of the cable and weather it crosses a carriageway 9/10 the cable that’s up is above minimum height required and they will mirror imagine

Thanks for the sub!

Glad it was helpful!

Literally scrolling for this to make sure I was seeing that correctly 😮 if i personally get more than 0.01 I splice it again.

When I spliced at BT in the exchange we looked at 0.03 dB loss. Also he has no cinbin for the discarded glass. It's hazardous waste.

That sounds cool, I like the recycling idea of the excess fibre cable too👍

Did you op for a digital phone service when you signed up to full fibre?

That's a very good question. The answer is no. But I am going to give it a go and let you know what the outcome is.

Hi again, this won't be possible for two reasons. First, the fibre has an SC type connector, and the UDM uses an LC type. Also, there still needs to be some kind of termination from the ISP. BT uses this termination to part authenticate the users connection.

You're right. What's next, someone thinks of sending the Internet over a satellite dish? 🤣

@@RLSComputerServices ubiquiti already do that lol WISP service

And to think the larger copper cables suffer from range. But it's all to do with speed in the end. Nothing can beat speed of light.

@@portman8909 nothing can beat speed of light in a vacuum, you mean. Speed of light down glass is slightly slower, but actually the speed that matters is how fast it can modulate the signal (as long as the range is ok; thats what makes copper less useful as the distances increase). Electricity signal changes travel down copper wire pretty dang quick too - its the field changing, not the actual electrons speed that matters, and therefore also happens fairly close to the speed of light.

The light doesn't travel in a straight line either, it bounces off the side of the fibre. The fibre is made of 2 densities of glass. So the actual glass that carries the light is a lot thinner than it appears from looking at the outside of the element.

These boxes are for OpenReach engineers to come and work on the fibre in case of emergency (i.e. broken cable). So they like to have access whenever they need, with or without the homeowners' presence.

@@RLSComputerServices But it could be put inside if the customer wants it ??

@@scabbycatcat4202 I don't think so, to be honest we never have asked. But as it is the splice between the external cable and the internal cable I would say not.

@@RLSComputerServices OK Thanks for that info. - Regards

@@scabbycatcat4202 No problem, you are best asking the ISP what they are happy in doing and then maybe come back and update us on how you got on. 😎👍

Glad we could help! But if you have any questions, please reach out to us.

Hi there, at the time of making this video, the answer is no. The Nokia router supplied does not have a bridging mode to allow the unit to act in modem only mode.

@@RLSComputerServices thanks for the reply, due to this and CGNAT i think i'll be cancelling my order tomorrow.

Lightspeed product and service is good. The customer service is a little bit slow, but that is because they are so new, but they do get there. For transparency, we had to leave the Lightspeed service only because we are a business and they couldn't provide the level of technical functionality that we needed. But please don't let that stop you when considering them as your ISP.

@@RLSComputerServices Is that due to the CGNAT thing? And not letting you use your own router? Terrible service tbh for a 1 gig up & down enthusiast plan. I might be forced to use them still if they are the only FTTC provider here though :(

@pendulumx , basically yes. You have to use their router and their was no bridging functionality to bypass it. They are still a good contender for a full fibre offering (FTTP).

@@RLSComputerServices I was Googling it a couple of weeks back and came across information that the router itself can go in to bridge mode, ISPs can enable it remotely, but Lightspeed refuse to do so. I guess they're a good ISP for some users. But the CGNAT is going to mess me up, they've lied about "Coming soon" for 20+ months and they've been saying they're working on a static/dynamic IP option for a similar length of time but nothing happens. I don't trust them anymore.

Hi, you are not alone, so find as many people in your area who are in the same boat and approach your local MP. Sounds like a daft approach, but political nagging influences OpenReach. 😉😉

Waiting for them to do other surgery and get planning permission now
