Telus is installing underground fibre in my area, all the homes have underground utilities and all homes face the street head on.
The homes all have from left to right (coming from the under ground right of way at the street like an upside down "T") Copper, Electricity, Right side *your home* Left side, Gas. Then Copper/Electricity next house, etc.
Based on this I assume with they will install Fibre flow pots so that it will be Fiber/Electric, Home, gas, Fiber/Electric, home gas.
Here's my concern, my siding is brand new and I don't want them installing a new termination box on my house and drilling a hole in the wall on the Left (most visible) side. I'd like to request that my flower pot (and hence my termination box) goes on the Right side by the gas meter, and my Fiber and the Right house neighbors (left Fiber) are in the same area. Is this allowed, picking the side, or is there some rule that says all wire services going to a single home must be on a certain side of a home, even my neighbors fibre is right beside my gas line.
Next. If I can not pick what side I want, can I have them snake the conduit up to my Phone/copper termination box and have them just snake the fiber through that box and into the existing hole in the wall. Essentially reuse the Telephone coppe termination box, there is no technical reason blocking it from being done, epically since the only thing in this box is Telephone (not CATV) and telephone copper is going in the trash anyways.
