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!

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?

Hmmm BT seems to be quite different. A CPC box outside and an internal ONT terminal out of which comes an Ethernet cable that plugs into their Smart Hub 2. Im a complete novice so possibly am completely incorrect.
@MarkoNewmski9 ай бұрын
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.

@@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.
