The fibre optic connection is in a main terminal box in the house and the
connection is then made in the usual manner from this main box to the
router.
Hope this clears things up for you.
The box dies work great and gives great broadband speed. :-)
After well over a year of battling with EE's corporate bluff and stalling tactics, one lovely bloke at EE sent me a Bright Box 2 for my •ADSL• line, so THEY CAN ...
I used to work EE home broadband and can confirm anyone can send out
equipment, you can send TV boxes to people who dont have TV packages and
fibre routers to people on ADSL packages etc. Not hard to do lol
Indeed, the tv only needs the Internet for the on demand stuff, the rest goes through the aerial. There isn't any barrier from you getting a tv box it's just who ever is on the phone just be awkward. If the agent told you the line is non-LLU then they are stupid since EE don't even use LLU so ocbiously it's going to be non-LLU lol. I believe internally it's briefed that anyone getting a line speed of 2mbps is eligible for EE TV. It's a shame since a lot of this feedback doesn't go to who it needs to. Too many ppl in between who contribute next to nothing to the business.
+Romeo 1 I gathered as much, having had many long conversations with many bluffers and marketing droids, and having been in telecoms and telecoms supply logistics since 1994 ;) - these people think you'll swallow the first story yarn they spin you... yeah, okay, if ya say so, folks ;)The plain fact that they say I can't have "EE TV" (which I don't really need anyway, since my Roku 3 and DLNA server is a MUCH better solution) and they use "You're in a non-LLU <blah>" as a reason, pull the other one - you told me BEFORE I got my ADSL2, 20Mbps upgrade (which they told me was "impossible" - they really like that word, don't they... LMAO) that "Your line isn't fast enough for EE TV" (bit strange that, as I've had iPlayer 720p working FOR YEARS, perfectly) and then, even AFTER my near 3x speed upgrade, the same piffle and excuses are given. EE: Whatever, you're a good cheap price, but CLUELESS! LOL!
Here I take a look at the EE Bright Box 2 combo FIBRE & ADSL router, and take it apart to get access to the serial port, so we can exploit it a little further, and ...
