Your Call Flow FTTP Installation

Stage 1: The External Installation

The External Installation is always completed by Call Flow. This brings the fibre optic cable up to the outside of your premises (what we call the ‘External Demarcation Point’). It will be adjacent to the location that your current copper telephone cable enters your premises. We install a small box onto your external wall, and our fibre optic cable is connected into this box.

 

Stage 2: The Internal Installation

The Internal Installation extends the fibre optic cable to a suitable location for your optical terminating equipment (modem) and router. A hole will be drilled through your external wall at a suitable entry point, and an internal fibre optic cable (provided by Call Flow) is routed from the outside box to the internal equipment location.

 

Call Flow Approved Installation

Your Internal Installation will be carried out either by one of our own Call Flow installation teams, or by one of our trusted partners, who carry out installations on our behalf. All installers work to our agreed standards using our approved equipment. The amount you pay for our installation service is standard in accordance with the following rules:

• The point of entry is always determined by Call Flow, however customer preferences will be considered.
• The location of the modem and router will be within the room in which the fibre enters the premises.
• Up to a maximum of 5m of internal fibre cabling will be provided to place the internal connection socket in a suitable location within that room.
• The fibre cable will be tacked against walls and skirting boards; it may be on both inside and outside walls.

Please refer to our Price Guide for the latest pricing information.

Additional Services Price

If you require additional cabling work, such as alternate external wall entry, or additional internal cabling greater than 5m, we will need to carry out a site survey. If the request is viable, there is an additional charge per metre as set out in our Price Guide. All cabling work will be surface mounted on the most appropriate surface, typically a skirting board.  Call Flow approved Installation Services are covered by our Terms and Conditions.
