ᐅ Fiber to the Home (FTTH) – Wi-Fi Router, Landline Phone, Computer

Hello, technicians in the forum.
I have the feeling that my electrician is not in control of the situation.
We have FTTH, fiber optic all the way to the house. Since yesterday, there has been a gray box installed with two tubes of fiber optic cables visible. I assumed this was the telecom provider’s equipment. I then watched their FTTH video. They will install a fiber optic modem next to the box. Correct? So far, so good. From the modem, it is then the electrician’s responsibility to continue the wiring. A cable runs inside the walls to my office, where a Wi-Fi router, landline phone, and PC are supposed to be set up. They installed a telephone socket in the wall, a TAE connector. But in the telecom provider’s help video, there is no telephone socket, only a network cable outlet, into which the router is plugged. Then the phone is connected to the router. Is that correct? If so, he still needs to change it.
Please clarify. Karsten

Poor workmanship on the construction. ARdT should be installed as multimedia and network/telephone cables in empty conduit. In my modest opinion, it is still often done differently (for example, in our case). Does anyone know of relevant court rulings?

I think it has nothing to do with saving money. They cut costs during the planning phase.

It specifies that “communication lines” (network, telephone, antenna cables) must be installed in a way that allows them to be replaced. However, this is usually not done!

Too fussy. I don’t think it’s about saving money. It’s just the first FTTH installation for the technicians ever. We are in SH. Here, people often only have DSL 2000 max. That’s the everyday situation.FTTH installation in new housing developments has been mandatory by law since early 2016.
Please don’t blame SH for this; it’s simply a technician who hasn’t updated his skills.
Moreover, connections between the modem and the following device haven’t been telephone cables with TAE sockets for almost 20 years, but network cabling.
But whatever, just let him terminate the cable on network outlets. This may not comply with norms and standards, but it can still work. The most important thing is having 4 wires, ideally 8.
You can always switch to Wi-Fi afterwards.

Thanks anyway. Now I have a basis for discussion with him.
Best option: network outlet plus new cable! Karl, is that possible?
If not, we’ll try Wi-Fi from the utility room.
If that’s too weak, you place an access point for me on the floor in the middle. I’ll buy it from you, you provide the cable.
Or a better idea?
This is how I will argue. KarstenI would insist on a code-compliant installation. Otherwise, placing the Wi-Fi router in the utility room is the only practical solution.
Just came back from the construction site to tidy up a bit... so, I have no idea what kind of cable is inside. In the fuse box, there is one loose cable; it’s gray, all of them are gray. Inside, there are four smaller colored wires. I guess it’s for the telephone.
We currently have regular DSL. I don’t use a desktop PC at all—only a laptop, and my wife and I each have a tablet. That’s it. We do everything wirelessly now. I like that. Right now, I have a phone jack at the desk where the Vodafone Easybox 804 with DSL 16000 is plugged in. The phone is plugged into the Easybox—cordless, Panasonic. Everything else is connected via Wi-Fi. It works pretty well, except when I’m out on the patio. That’s probably what they call standard.
Now FTTH is coming. I’m not really comfortable with the router being in the utility room. There’s already enough stuff there. I would prefer to have it back on the wall by my desk, nice and central. I told K. that it will be FTTH—that was known. Now he has to figure something out. Whether it complies with regulations or not doesn’t really matter to me, as long as it works, that’s what counts.

We usually just don’t do that! Exactly! So what now? Demolition, rebuilding? Compensation? Or nothing at all?

FTTH in new development areas has been legally mandatory since early 2016. Wow! Do you have the source? And what exactly counts as a new development area? Does this also apply to infill developments in existing neighborhoods? Unfortunately, we built in 2015/16...
