Advice on placement of fibre wall bix.

[xrapidx]

Anyone with experience on placing these boxes have advice on where to place mine?


RED - where they want to place it - it won't work - to get it into the house will require lifting paving by the pool - then grass - then outside tiles. (I don't want conduit on walls)

BLUE - this is a shared vibracrete wall - it'll allow me to run a conduit on the wall and enter the garage, where I'll have to put the networking kit. (again - paving all along the ground)

GREEN - My opinion, is the best, once in my property it'll have to run in conduit along a vibracrete wall - and then enter the property in the lounge. (no paving)

My houses roof is flat - so getting any sort of wiring into the house is a mission.

So they can run it on the outside in a conduit from Red to Green , if Red is a non-negotiable entrypoint. I'm obviously ignoring the possible extra costs involved due to the longer fibre connection...

But then they might as well place it at the green point from the start?

I'm not 100% sure how they choose these points - looking at neighbours, they're all over the place.

Better discuss with them the reasoning behind having the entry point in the middle of the property. As I've said , if they are adamant about that, then they can trench outside the wall to Green

If they put it there I'll be removing it and sticking to VDSL.

Who's doing the installation ?
