So has anyone actually had the installation yet ?

I had a lady round last night to discuss my installation. She seemed keen to run the fibre from the street down the side of my house, to the rear. I stated that my PC was in a bedroom at the back of the property, and she was keen to situate the box near that bedroom. So her route involved approx 13M of paving slabs being pulled up. As I live on a corner, I suggested coming in off the other side of the house (from another street) and she agreed it would be easier that way.

So I have the following question outstanding from my meeting.
1) does the box actually have to be near your PC ?
2) is it fibre from the external box to an internal box ?
3) Is it fibre from an internal box to your PC, or 100Mb ethernet ?
4) could the internal box go in the loft? (I have ethernet cables from some rooms cabled to the loft, so the loft could be a good place to start).
5) if TV services are planned, maybe the internal box should go near the TV in the lounge ??

I'm just keen to
a) NOT have any slabs pulled up and then poorly re-laid
b) get the external box fitted in the best location.

Anyone got any comments ?
