FTTH area |
said by ILpt4U:said by Craiger:Is their a way to tell if a neighborhood and subdivision is FTTP?
Yes. There will be a Fiber Crossbox, not a Copper Crossbox (the two look similiar, but not identical).
Also, the peds for fiber look a little different than copper peds (again, similar, but not identical).
And all the "NIDs"/really ONTs on the houses are bigger than regular NIDs. ONTs actually have the same outer shell and size footprint as the 2Wire/Pace iNID.
There should also be the Fiber marking white fiberglass poles with the orange top, and between peds there will be some fiber handholes in the utility easement, where the F2 fiber cables from the Crossbox splice into the fiber feeds to the individual peds. A handhole, in a FTTP area, usually feeds ~2-4 peds
here is a map of the area that I am talking about the area is in within the black boxed area.
the area I market it pretty much one of the last available areas to build out to and At&t is doing FTTH in that area and in another area on the far north side of the city that is an upscale development that is also one of the last areas open to build on.
craiger here is a FTTH pedestal notice how the base widens out and is buried:

I can see the people with the houses that are copper based on Wild River Drive possibly complaining when Gigapower is rolled out if they have a need for speed
