    Can Fibre Providers reuse the same CTE / ONT?

    In our area I have three fibre providers available to me (yes, they dug up the verge, my driveway and every water pipe in the street three times). I'm currently with Vumatel and have zero issues but I'm eyeing OpenServe purely because they're considerably cheaper. So my question is, if I were...

    So the installation team put my fibre line in, during which they managed to break the cable (which the second technician who showed up an hour or so later said is fairly common). He did a splice by the CPE and also outside by the main external box, which he seemed to think had resolved the...
