Thanks, I'll use the socket behind my living room door so I won't be able to see the lights.

Has anyone had any experience with the AVM Fritz!Box 7530AX modem supplied? I only have a 2 bedroom house so I don't need to purchase my own.

I'm just hoping there are no limitations so I don't have issues with my IPTV services being blocked where I can't stop it by clicking a setting?

Yes I have the 7530AX, they supply it to those using 500 or 900 mb. Seems a decent bit of kit compared to the VM offerings, had no problems with it and the interface has far more options than the VM hub offered. You can also get the 3000AX repeater off them for a monthly fee but I bought one direct from Germany, works well as a mesh system.
The ONT has a power supply with a fairly short cable. probably less than a metre so if possible get them to install near a mains socket though i suppose you could use an extension cable to get juice to it.
