Numericable boxes

Hello gentlemen.

Your exchanges are very interesting.

I have a question in turn: Do you think we can remove the entire column and the Numéricâble boxes in a stairwell if all the residents are fibered by a FTTH installation?

    Hello,

    The Numéricable installation is designed to provide collective TV service in a building that does not have an antenna. This service reaches the apartments through a standard coaxial socket, where one can directly plug in their TV. Using the TV via fiber requires an individual subscription. The co-ownership must have a contract with Numéricable, now SFR. To stop the provision of this service, a resolution from the homeowners' association meeting is necessary.

    Hello,

    Formally, I don't know, because historically the homeowners' association has accepted a contract for the wiring, and if it is still functioning, a homeowner can still claim its use (like that of a collective rooftop antenna if everyone has a Box).

    This contract must state that the equipment in question is the property of the contractor (the municipality, which has or has not delegated to Numéricable and therefore now SFR).

    It seems to me that there must be, under the terms of the contract in question, a new decision in the homeowners' association with the required qualified majority (get in touch with the property manager), and if it is obtained, it is up to this company to proceed with the removal of the equipment in question, with homeowners only able to deal with it if the company agrees to abandon it and they are consequently exposed to the costs of deinstallation (including, if necessary, new painting).

    Hello,

    Here is a response:

    FTTH fiber or FTTLA fiber: what's the difference?

    With fiber to the home (FTTH) technology, the fiber is deployed "end-to-end" up to the FTTH socket installed in the user's home. Besides this fiber to the subscriber technology, there is also fiber to the last amplifier (FTTLA). With FTTLA technology (Fiber To The Last Amplifier), the fiber is deployed to the connection node (NRO), which is a street cabinet or at the bottom of your building. This connection point is then linked to the user's home via a coaxial cable. The FTTLA coaxial fiber is used by the operator SFR with its cable network (previously Numéricable).

    In my opinion, nothing should be dismantled for the moment, and these things cannot be decided based on a forum opinion... an official letter is needed.

    Just because there is fiber, it doesn't mean that the "Numéricable" boxes have become useless... on the contrary, it's very likely that communication goes through these boxes...?

    Moreover, we do not know the brands and models of these boxes..? nor to whom they belong..?? and the wiring that goes with it... it's still quite poorly defined and remains anonymous...

      Hello,

      The author tells us, whether right or wrong, that the installation is now FTTH fiber, in which case, as you pointed out, it no longer goes through coaxial or copper networks, except possibly for television.

      As I myself pointed out and others as well, of course, there is no question of doing anything until we have the technical details of the installation in question, both for the fiber (really FTTH?) and for the television (aerial or not, existence of individual subscriptions for cable operator's television) and until a general assembly has not made a decision on this matter.

    Hello,

    What gives you the right to ask that question?

    In fact, every resident has the right to choose the FTTH or FTTB system they want to use as long as SFR doesn't decide to cut off the FTTB, which will happen one day.

    As for TV, that's another story, and you should check the contract with the provider, which is not necessarily SFR.

    And there you have it ....

    But damn, the line spacing is so annoying!!
