I have airtel tower installed at my land. Airtel officially updated on the site that xstream fiber is launching soon in my city. Yesterday the tower maintenance guy who so calls himself am Engineer visited for regular check. I asked him if he has any idea when the fiber is coming in my area. He said airtel doesn't provide fiber in any area. If I need fiber I need to pay 50k if I need xstream fiber. I find it a bit weird. How come one person pay 50k for broadband connection. What do you think is he bluffing or is it really the case?
 
He is talking about leased line...😂
Actually,he knows nothing.
If FTTH is coming to area....when it comes,you will see dp boxes in the street.
Also,you will be informed for pre registration
 
I have registered on the website but it says " we will contact you as soon our services goes live"
If the box get installed at a distance of 500m from my house. Is it still possible to get a connection by paying for extra fiber. If yes will the extra fiber affect the ping or speed?
 
The extra fiber will not affect latency.
The effect is less than 1ms.
The fiber cable cost 6 rs per meter.
I got it myself as my LCO asked me to pay 4000 for small distance.
They will plan dp boxes as per pre registration.
Don't worry.You will get it.
1 km fibre cost 5000 rs for armoured overhead cable.
So, don't worry....if you get any issue when ftth is launched.We all are here to help.
 
@Kick933 Is black cable armoured?

for e.g. most of the people in nearby area got orange cable from a box, but lco has given me a direct black cable? (no box etc..he says it directly from his OLT and i'm probably single customer in this area)
 
@Realme sorry,but colour cannot tell you anything.
You may check your box where splitter is installed.

If it is an overhead cable of 100 meter,it is definitely armoured.
Try stretching it a bit.
I mean,unarmiured cables are not used until it is a building where no stress is expected.
 


Can you give me snap of your splitter box if it can be opened?
I will see if it has two pairs of fibre.

Normally,LCO use 2F fiber cable as they use another pair to run cable services.
If yes,and you paid for cable,you can get another connection without any more cable purchase from another OLT.

LCO? Does airtel provide also use LCO? I came to know here on this forum that airtel doesn't involve LCO.
 
No splitter/box outside, only splitter is installed inside my home to lower down the power artificially and the cable has no marking.

I did overpaid about 5000 INR, but LCO gave a good after-sale service.
 
See this,there is a white fiber and a blue fiber strand in my cable.i get my bsnl connection over blue strand and white strand is not being used.I bought it as it was cheaper than single strand cable.I can get another ftth connection from another isp when they arrive.
I want to see this if yiu have a openable splitter box.

It's tape wrapped so possible but dare not to do that

Dual core cable according to my LCO..hmm I guess i am fooled here as I indirectly funded fiber laying under supposed "installation charges"
.I can get another ftth connection from another isp
Two different WANs over same cable, how is it possible?

Whats' you arrangement?

Kindly elaborate?
 
Since there are two fiber strand,one is already being used for bsnl ftth,the another one is free till the part where most isp will place their node.Thus,two connections.
Even,we can have two seperate wan over same cable provided the OLT is configured.
I guess @varkey had same configuration for KV and BSNL.
I think that you should clear to the LCO that cable is exclusively yours and another user must pay to use it.
Mine was also tape wrapped but i could not resist messing up with it.It is simple setup in my case,but it may vary in complexity,i respect your decision to not to mess with it,specially in these crisis days as repair will not be readily done.
Also,most of the fiber strands are joined using fusion splicing which can easily handle the force of 0.5 lbs.Thus,the box is just to protect it from excessive bends which may break the joints.
Since your cable is dual core,you can also use the another core for another connection.I suggest being clear to the LCO on this.

Having two ISP on single fiber strand is easily achievable by using vlans.
 
@vignesh_venkatesan
I think it is only possible when one olt is used.
What do you think if two different isp can give us connection using single strand with different olt?
If i remember the pon operating standard correctly,it will reduce time available for each olt to half,thus,each olt have halved throughput but can give connection to all users since transmission is based on time differential duplex.
