Opennet installion - share experience please

[NWT1978]

the guy who did mine was quite good and very familiar with the process.
also he was very careful not to dirty my place. he also patch up all the gaps of the btwn the trunkings.
with regard to using the existing "scv hole", maybe u can ask the guy to widen the hole b4 he insert the fiber thru to avoid damage to the scv cable. they are using the scv cable to guide the fiber thru the hole.

if possible dont shoot them, i believe most of them will try to do their best to do a good job for u as they dont want to be sent back due to complaints.....
just tell them to watch out for those concerns that u hve b4 they start the work.

hope very thing is fine on your installation.....

i m happy with mine and just waiting to sign up during the march exhibition.......

so your is done on January 2011?

if not got to wait 1-3 mths...

mine got false ceilings... only can see some of the trunking for SCV cables through from living room to next rm... but need to install in another rm... so going to be one straight line with some angles at living room and mine room...

hopefully mine also got a guys who familar with the process...

the openet standard reply... install in living room and at power socket and near scv point... either one not possible... no spare power socket, tv cabinet blocking it and it heavy to move and somemore the connections i dont know how to plug back when remove... got 4 systems (1 dvd player, surround system, radio, sound system) connecting to the tv...

see if my latest email to them got standard reply or not lol

Nay. Not interested in your stuff lying around la, dun worry.
Actually broken copper cable can join back and fix easily de.

mine some areas are above false ceilings... so when it broke it trouble to fix it...

still waiting for starhub to repair the weak signals... a week of waiting already...

i will say it near home made bread shop

[ideatalk]

If yours just installed maybe you need to wait till Apr or May then can sign up, need to wait for whole block to be completed + backend testing to complete.

not sure if can sign up in Mar and ask them to activate in Apr when the fiber is ready, if the offer is good?

dont think so, they will check ones...

mine next mth then installed... gave them 6mths to activate, (test and fix if any problem; hope not) and sign up during sept 2011... looking for similar promo but fibre this time

thus, will be collecting brochures for march and june 2011 to compare and finally sept 2011 too

well one of the staff reply back... after 5 days...

ask about can install in the bedroom... gave reply as "might affect your eligibility to subscribe to the fibre plans from the Retail Service Providers. " like that may as well install in the living room... but no have spare power plugs..

ask about if current electric wires dmg during installing... gave reply as " fibre shield from electromagnetic interferences and then if wires dmg... will try to repair them on the spot or arrange for dmg to be fixed...

ask about starhub cables being dmg during installing...gave reply as "same as above" but then i thought if starhub cables dmg must call starhub to fix it?

ask about if got weak signals or no signal then how...gave reply as "make sure there is a working signal" then weak signals consider as working signal?

have the right not sign the form and can call site supervisor till issue solved

loving this RIGHT lol

ask about the ranges of signals are good... gave this reply "not have figures for such ranges" when subscribe to RSP then they will do final test and update me " this mean that if no good signals must keep calling them?

My opennet expreience

Day before the tech sms me to confirm appt time.

The installers came 1 hr early.

Ran optical cable from manhole riser main road to telecom riser.

Internal conduit to living room length >15m

Total time onsite 1hr.35min.

i laid my fibre via the same trunking that i laid my SCV cable back in 1995 (aww so nostalgic). One straight line all the way from the main door

Dunno 10-20 years later will have new type of line or not? Den all the 3 generations can share the same trunking.

 

[j_t_fusion]

having my opennet cables laid this sat... anything that i should be aware of or look out for?

don't want to get screwed by my dad at the end of the day...

if possible, just get the guy to lay the fiber using the existing scv trunking to avoid all unnecessary trouble.
settle the ONT and RG location later as they are movable items......

what's the ONT and RG?

 

[Gixxerfied]

what's the ONT and RG?

ONT = Optical Network Terminal

RG = Residential Gateway/Modem

When they came to install mine, I wanted to have it in the bedroom but the guy said it can only be installed in the living room. Everything was done fairly quickly probably in an hour. I didn't know about the potential cable problem until I read this thread as I have a false ceiling too! Luckily, I'm able to watch cable TV so I guess it's ok?

why can only be in the living room? they rushing somewhere to do other jobs?

site say as long near power plug or cable point or phone line can already...

I have no idea. That's why I was like when the guy said it could not be done. There's cable point in every room so I don't understand why it's not possible. I even told him that I would pay if it's beyond the length limit but all I get is... no, no, only can install in the living room. He was speaking in broken English and I had a hard trying to get across so in the end I just let him be.

next time maybe can get hold of the techician's name so that we can keep a lookout. Mine installation date is also nearing. Ive been monitoring this thread.

It no need to be near power nor cable point at all! Of cos the installer must be rushing.

technically, it is ok to install anywhere in your house but the only problem is that if
suay suay when installing the ONT n RG by your ISP thing dont work you need to get Opennet and redo the fiber again. U may have to wait long long

Someone kena liao, as mentioned in some threads........
