Actavo came to do my installation in August, and planned to run the fibre from my meter box, along the bellcast, and in through stonework at the front of my house into my hallway where I wanted the router. There was a blockage, however, in the ducting from the mini pillar so they had to abandon the install and wait for the civil guys to clear the blockage. In hindsight, I was lucky that this happened. The civil guys cleared the blockage a few weeks later and left the fibre cable coiled up in the meter box. I then took the fibre up through the cavity and into the attic.
I then brought the cable down into a cloakroom which backs onto my hallway.
The Actavo guys returned and completed what was an easy install for them.
Really happy with how it turned out, a virtually invisible install.0 -

I can't believe they let you put the olt inside the house, i tried that with my installers and they were having none of it, they said it has to be outside and within a few meters of meter, so that siro can fix issues without entering the property. That was in April 2016, either they changed their policy or installers didn't care in your case.0 -

1) What kind of wiring do the installers use to the house and where would they run the wire to? (i.e. would they run the main feed/box to the exterior or interior of the house and if inside would they run to the node0 ?)
2) What equipment is supplied, router or router and wifi? Any can I bridge the routed so I can connect my own WiFi router if needs be?
3) Is the I.P. address a static or the other kind?
4) when I check my address I am told I have got SIRO but I don't get and supplier option, any ideas?
Apologies if these are answered but I have just started at page 120.
1) They run a fibre optic cable to a box like this
This will be on the exterior of your home. A hole will be drilled and the fibre cable passed inside to the device on the left of this image
There needs to be power at this point.
From the box on the left it is Ethernet to the router.
Depending on where your node0 is it may be easier to run Ethernet yourself from node0 to a suitable location.
2) There is more than one provider on SIRO. Each offers a combined WiFi router. If your own router supports VLAN tagging in WAN you shoukd be able to use it. No bridging required. You may lose any VoIP service you get as part of your package by doing this.
3) I think it is generally dynamic though again would be provider dependent.
4) No idea.0 -
