Transport For London have instructed BT Openreach to (re)move the cabinet <br>
which supplies my FTTC ready for road layout changes. My house is one of about <br>
100 in a line of semi-detached terrace blocks built around 1933 that is almost <br>
completely surrounded by new-build houses, flats, and huge tower blocks, all <br>
with Fibre To The Premises, so it may be cost-effective to replace FTTC with <br>
FTTP, and I have been trying to understand the various snippets of information <br>
about FTTP.<br>
<br>
Customer Splicing Point is the junction between the external and internal <br>
fibres, probably external.<br>
<br>
Internal Optical Network Termination (and Battery Back Up) provides 2x BT <br>
standard telephone outlets and 4x ethernet outlets.<br>
<br>
This is shown linked to a Connection Provider Router, but what does that do? <br>
Does it just provide a WiFi connection, and possibly block connections <br>
originating from the internet? My house is wired, with the VDSL modem output <br>
connected to my own firewall-router, and normally the first thing I do is turn <br>
off WiFi from my modem, so is it really required? The expected location for <br>
the Optical Network Termination would not be the best location for WiFi, so if <br>
it really is required it would probably be on the end of a Cat6 extension.<br>
<br>
My current ISP can only provide FTTC with IPv4, so I would need to get a new <br>
contract, preferably with static IPv4 and static IPv6, but trying to get <br>
information from BT about what they would provide is akin to extracting blood <br>
from stone. BT Openreach just refer me to my ISP, who may only be able to <br>
confirm any possible switch.<br>
