I have a new house with a BT pole directly outside but the copper wire from it to the house snapped with the wind.
I want to transfer my sky broadband service to the new house and that ran on a BT overhead copper cable.
As the new house is opposite its actually connected to the same BT pole.
I ran what I believe is BT approved black outdoor cable, run it from the soffit where the old link cable was, via the loft and fitted a BT socket in the back room ready for the sky router.
Hoping openreach would just fit a new joint box by the soffit.
However since doing so, some contractors have fitted things on the pole which i believe are for fibre and understand that is what i have to have and there is no more copper wire services being fitted.
My issue is how do i get from the front of the house to the back where i need it, as i am sure BT will not pass it through the loft.
Will they just drill into the house and put a box there and then I can sort it, or could i run a 10m EZ bend fibre lead and leave that for them to connect to.
I also believe it needs to terminate near a mains power outlet.
Thanks
