GRAND ROC IS OFFICIALLY ACCESSIBLE TO FIBER

IMPORTANT

In view of the installation, it is important to note that the numbering assigned by telecom operators may be subject to errors. It is highly likely that the reference numbers of the chalets may be shifted or even non-existent.
Therefore, it is advisable to carefully check the information provided by the operators to avoid any inconvenience related to a misidentification of your accommodation during the fiber installation process.

The deployment of fiber optic involves several stages of development and connection upstream before it is connected to the end user. All of these fiber optic cables are divided into several groups, each of which will be routed to points of mutualization. It is from these points that the fiber is connected to a building or a individual house. We refer to this as horizontal deployment (Phases 1 and 2) and vertical deployment of the fiber (Phase 3).
Horizontal deployment concerns the implementation of fiber optic from long-distance lines to mutualization points distributed throughout Grand Roc.

Vertical deployment (Phase 3) refers to the steps involved in routing the fiber to the subscriber’s residence, typically carried out by a technician during the initial fiber installation.
First, the fiber cable is pulled from the mutualization point to an Optical Branching Point (OBP) installed outside the cottages or on the landings for the building. A second wiring is done between the OBP and an Optical Termination Box located inside the residence. The subscriber’s internet box is connected to the optical box via a fiber socket.
In Public Initiative Network (PIN) areas, which concern us here, local authorities issue calls for bids to operators to develop the fiber. This is the role of SYANE.
Fiber connection fees are generally covered by the operators. The internet service provider you have chosen then proceeds with the connection free of charge.
However, for cottage co-owners, connection fees are their responsibility in case of construction work*. The operator provides the connection to the fiber optic network on the condition that there is already a usable and existing conduit (underground duct) for routing.

*Operators specify that “… an underground conduit may be necessary. In this case, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide Orange or another operator with this conduit and ensure that it is usable”. In other words, it is possible that work may be required to allow the fiber to be routed between the Optical Branching Point (OBP) on the thoroughfare and the Optical Termination Point in the cottage. These works will need to be carried out at your expense if the conduit is not usable or does not exist.
