Re: £3000 spent and Virgin can't connect me
I wonder if they will just pay up or if it will need chasing. If they mess about send the bailiffs in just like that person had to with ATOS

Re: £3000 spent and Virgin can't connect me
I have spent a long time reading the forums and thought I would register.
If you can place a small cab near the end of the road and run a cat6 cable you would be able to provide power and data down the cat6. At the house you would need a POE injector https://www.4gon.co.uk/ubiquiti-poe4...wg-p-6457.html In the duct 2x 150m apart https://mikrotik.com/product/gper or 3 if needed In the cab https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-PoE10R-TL-POE10R-PoE-Splitter/dp/B001PS4NWW/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=ctive+PoE+Splitter+P ower+Over+Ethernet+48V+to+12V+2A+for+IEEE802.3at&q id=1616086823&s=computers&sr=1-10 |

Coaxial cable has a 150 - 200m limit without needing amplification (better than Ethernet btw). Thus the Cat6 cable idea is unworkable. |

A few people in here dont seem to understand the cabinet you'd supply at the end of your drive or whatever is your own services box, nothing to do with virgin they'd just be terminating their services in it. |

1. Consumer to build a mains powered cabinet at the end of his drive. 2. Distance to the premises active device not to exceed 100, (90m best). 3. VM to dig a channel to the consumer's boundary. 4. VM to provide a coaxial tap cable to the customer's cabinet. 5. Coax not to exceed 150m (whole thing's off if that's not possible). 6. Consumer to fit VM provided modem into cabinet & attach coax cable. 7. Consumer to run output Ethernet into premises. 8. Consumer to attach Ethernet cable to own router and then Da-dah. If VM agree to that I'll donate money to charity. Support would be a nightmare. Have I go that wrong? |
Re: £3000 spent and Virgin can't connect me
End of the day there are loads of ways it could be done if VM would be prepared to install a modem in a box 150m from the house (OP says 300m to house 150 to end of drive so 150m run to main cab would be possible) . No one in there right mind would do that though so dunno why the argument
Gotta say if the OP has 150m drive then it has gotta be some property and if as rich as a 150m drive may point to maybe consider Starlink as a future option hehehehe |

Attached is a photo of a job we did for a customer with 550 meters of fibre.
Does anyone know the power requirement of the virgin modem? ours is in the loft. For costing 1x Box (305 meters) cat6 £80.00 (make sure is NOT CCA) we use Excel brand here. 1x POE injector £19.20 https://linitx.com/product/ubiquiti-...e-50-60w/14097 2x Ethernet Repeater £19.20 (max 310 meters) https://linitx.com/product/mikrotik-...-source)/16092 2x case for above £7.20 https://linitx.com/product/mikrotik-...p67-case/16167 1x 48v to 12v adaptor https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-...puters&sr=1-10 you will need a box to put the router in. https://www.screwfix.com/p/hylec-ip6...-x-350mm/7766g This would give you 45V at the cab which should be more than enough for the adaptor. Please note this is only theroy and would need a test before you continue, if it was me I would ask virgin to run 150 meters and then you run 150 meters the other way. put the router in modem mode and then provide your own router in the house |

Re: £3000 spent and Virgin can't connect me
Pukka, I'm curious what your line of business is ... what sort of customers do you normally serve with custom installs like that? I'm not sure I've ever come across a residential BT or VM customer putting that sort of kit into their garden to connect to a network.
