Opennet installion - share experience please

[liangtam]

Should make an FAQ thread on this. I think there are a lot of ppl who are still blur on these minor details

No need think so much la. Just ask when signing up or use their recommended setup, won't go wrong.

1) TP>ONT>Router>PC - understood!

2) power supply for ONT (modem) and router - understood!

"i already have a cable connected to my room" - what cable is this bro? connected from the TP to your room?

and IF IF IF i have let's say I have the MIO and Starhub digital setup box, any chances these are going to use fiber too and will 'cause me to shoot myself in the foot, if i place my TP in my bedroom as I would have to lay cables back to the living room, not for internet, but cable tv this time round?

oh gosh.

If you place the TP in your room, then when the time comes when you want to have future TV features, then you will need to lay a CAT5e/6 cable from your room to the living hall to plug into the set top box to watch those TV content, this is my understanding.

Just had my TP installed this afternoon. The whole process was pretty quick as I reused the existing trunking laid by SCV many years ago.

I asked if those guys doing the fibre splicing could show me how they tested the signal, one guy just showed me the red light emitting from the TP and said those written figures on the service report are "very good" Guess I'll have to take their word for it.

Hi just to have a bit more understanding

||
[TP] -----Done by open net contractors
||
[ONT] ------Done by service providers (either nucleus or singtel)
||
[RG] ------ Can be rented from service provider or bought dependent on service provider


So for installation of TP I have to be only concern about where the TP is going to be placed.

Does the TP really requires power supply?
The connection of TP to ONT is RJ45 ?
ONT requires power supply right?

Thanks

mine originally listed feb 2011 too, then i thought i never receive the letter was damn panic.. then only last few days of feb ( i think ) or first few days of march, i received the letter asking me to sign up and the date stated at the top was 1 February 2011 , so i think it is just singpost delaying the mail or it was delivered wrongly or opennet maybe gonna postpone your installation till other dates .

 

[WTF??!!]

how much do that charge for an extra TP point?
