When I had my Full Fibre installation I had not appreciated how little the fibre could be bent - unlike a copper cable. In the event, as my router etc. is sited centrally in my house, the fibre is running through a downstairs toilet to reach the router location where there is power for the NTU. I have not been able to find a way to protect / disguise the fibre particularly where it goes round corners to follow the wall.
To solve the problem I have installed at gigabit Cat5e cable from another part of the house with easy access through the same exterior wall and with power available for the NTU.
My questions are; how do I go about arranging for OpenReach to do the shift and what are the likely costs?
If anyone can help with advice, that would be great.
Many thanks,
Chris

Hi
Openreach may be able to relocate the socket however they will charge £128 for this option.
Thanks
Karl.
