How does fibre get to your access point?

As per the title - say your area is fibre enabled - how does it get from outside your property to inside your property.

Do they need to run cables? Currently have decent ADSL - besides the cable in the roof - it must go into the ground (paved) somewhere as its not visible once it leaves the roof and into the wall.

They ran a fiber line to the inside CPE box at our place.

Typically, your current Telkom copper wires will run in a conduit where they are inside walls or underground. So the fibre would follow the same path.

That's what I'm worried about - the Telkom wiring in the roof is a complete mess... and inaccessible in the roof without taking the ceiling out.

I also have no clue where they go into the wall - just the general direction they head in from the wallbox

In my case the guys just used the old telkom cable as a draw wire to pull the fibre from the roof down to where they installed the CPE.

Depends, my copper was underground and the fibre went the same way.
