They are not going to do that, it isn't their copper wire to cut. It is probably Openreach's property.

Which part do you want to fill? Red, Blue or Green?

Yes, the fibre will be on and working during the engineer's Wednesday visit. The engineer will test that you have internet as far as the new router that they will supply and will leave you with that new router working. No, they won't touch the copper wire. No-one will remove it, it will be left...

It would be better to move the outlet to a less than ideal location on the landing than try to force the airflow through a duct which is far too small. You can direct the airflow using dams in the outlet if you end up with the outlet too close to a wall.

It isn't hard to quote for plumbing work where that involves stopping a leak that doesn't exist. I recon my limited DIY plumbing skills would enable me to fix a non-leak.

Those two small slots in the plastic of the cill are the only places that outdoor air should be able to pass the outer seal. If you cover them with some blutack and the problem goes away then they are the source of the draft. If the problem doesn't go away (very likely) then the source of the...

The drainage holes in the sill do allow a tiny amount of air to enter the space between the outside seal and the inside brush seal. I wouldn't expect that a couple of small drainage holes would be enough to generate a draft at the lock position though. Show us a photo of the sill arrangement at...

With a radiator in front of the sofa the cold draft hits the back of the sofa and I cant feel it. The draft doesn't hit the back of my legs because they are protected by the sofa. The small amount of radiated heat from a radiator in front of me also helps to keep my legs warm. With the radiator...

A significant consideration for me is your seating position, I would always want the radiator to be in front of me. If you look at Eric's diagram of heat circulation it exactly represents what happens in our lounge, the radiator is behind our seating position, although we do not have a sofa...

1. If worried about dust entering the box (it won't cause a problem) you could put a small amount of sealant around the cable. 2. The meter tails entering the meter were installed by the meter fitter. It isn't perfect but it isn't going to hurt anyone and it does appear to have been done...

I had a muppet this morning who crossed safely during a gap in the traffic and then pressed the button after he had crossed. :rolleyes:

My pet hate is when you have been patiently waiting for a queue of traffic to pass so that you can pull out and the very last car in the queue flashes you to come out in front of them. If they just carried on and got out of the f'ing way then you could have pulled out anyway. The only thing...

Yes, it's a quick way to prove if the router is a problem or the fibre line is a problem. I wouldn't run it without a router routinely.

Agreed absolutely, but we were specifically discussing YouFibre when I stated that it was possible to plug one device directly into the ONT without using a router.

YouFibre have their own network infrastructure, if you change provider the connection at the pole will need to be changed. It is also possible/likely that the box on the wall inside your house will need to be changed. YouFibre don't provide you with any login name or password, the connection is...

I am sitting here with a laptop plugged directly into a YouFibre ONT. It just works. No router connected at all. No PPPoE settings on the laptop. Plugged the laptop into the ONT with an Ethernet cable and it gets connected to the internet, it couldn't be more straightforward.

From here: https://support.youfibre.com/knowledge-base/article/i-already-have-a-router-can-i-use-the-same-one-when-i-join-you "I already have a router, can I use the same one when I join You? If your router has an ethernet connection (WAN) then it’s compatible with our network and you can keep...

Not on YouFibre. The Router connects to the ONT using DHCP.

It's a standard network cable so technically can be up to 100m. The box on the inside (ONT) converts light from the fibre to a standard ethernet port. If you only had one device at home it would be possible to plug it directly into the ONT without a router.

They will install the outside box near ground level. The cable from the pole to the outside box can be very long but the cable from the outside box to the inside box is limited to 10 metres. They are very flexible about where they install the inside box but I have never known them to install it...
