FTTP MDU Installation

Last month, some Virgin Media contractors installed fibre in our apartment building. We were told the RFS date is expected to happen sometime this month. 

I noticed this box was installed above my apartment's front door. What is it? I am assuming its an ONT?

Any idea when I might be able to order the service? I am now at the end of my contract with Now TV and paying a higher price :(

    Hi Mooo.

    Welcome back to the Community Forums. 

    Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in joining us. 

    Does the postcode checker here give any information about availability yet at your address?

      Looks like it’s just joining 2 fibre cables together. No power so not an ONT and VM do not use them, fibre goes straight to the Hub5x.

      It just states it's unavailable at the moment. :(

      Are you able to find out when I will be able to place an order?

    You are unlikely to get a date from anyone at VM. Multiple contractors involved, plus a serious amount of backend works. Sometimes it’s weeks, sometimes months. No two areas are the same. Once the sales leaflets start landing in the area you can USUALLY assume it’s gone live.

    That looks a fibre termination point from which the installer will run another fibre to the hub 5X.
