My fibre box is in the wrong place. What can I do?

Your broadband comes into an awkward corner, away from the rooms or equipment that need it.

Illustration for My fibre box is in the wrong place. What can I do?

What would you like to change?

You do not need to know the technical cause. Tell us where it happens and what you would like to be able to do instead.

What we would check

We look at extending the home network from the existing fibre equipment. Moving provider-owned fibre equipment itself may need the provider.

We agree the useful areas and a sensible route with you before quoting the work.

Your next step

Request an assessment without choosing equipment, sending photos or making a payment. We will contact you to agree how to help.

Your questions, answered.

My fibre box is in the wrong place. What can I do?

We look at extending the home network from the existing fibre equipment. Moving provider-owned fibre equipment itself may need the provider.

Do I need to know which equipment to buy?

No. Tell us what is not working or what you want to do. We check your connection, the property and the areas you need before recommending equipment.

Do I need photos to ask for a visit?

No. You can request an assessment without photos. If useful, we can ask for a couple of photos later. Never climb or move equipment to take one.

Will I have to pay before someone looks at the problem?

There is no payment to make an enquiry or for the initial local assessment. We confirm the visit with you, explain suitable options and provide a written quote before you agree to installation.
