Hello everyone,
I’m considering switching to fiber-optic. I’ve already tried the experience, but when the installer came to my place, he immediately said that holes needed to be drilled to install the box and run the cable, ultimately fixing the router in a spot that would only be accessible via Wi-Fi.
However, my building is about 12 years old and there should be conduits in each apartment for running cables. A neighbor just had fiber installed without drilling a single hole.
Here is my diagram:
If I understand correctly, the 2 “out” cables from the connector on the right connect to the two telephone sockets in the apartment. So it should be possible to use the conduit that these cables run through to bring fiber to one of the sockets (where I want the router to be located).
Am I correct or am I totally misunderstanding?
Thank you all

Hello.
Normally, there should be technical ducts and passages allowing the fiber to come to your home from the common areas. 12 years is not too old; this should have already been considered.
For the cables you mentioned, it concerns the routing of the TV antenna to two TV outlets in the apartment, and not telephony, which is served by the DTI box right next to it.
Normally, this should go through ducts (TV or Telephony).
Before pulling to run the fiber, you should check that the telephony cable, from point A to point B, moves easily; otherwise, you risk losing the telephone cable in the duct.
Is the panel you are showing in the photo centered or "well placed" in the apartment, or is it at one end?
