    I would usually agree. However I'm operating a business so I have rack with switches, firewall, ups, pbx etc at the internal location and access points fan out from there, so it really is the right place. Through the wall next to access chamber (where original eircom cable ran) is a room I'm planning to remodel and bringing ethernet from there to rack would be an even greater headache than running the ducting as I was describing above.

    I just noticed this post but it was eir ftth and seems to have worked out:

    Looks like I might get away with 25mm ID for 25 meter run going by this. I also noted Eir's ducting guidelines state that External Fibre cable can only be brought 1m into the building so hopefully a similar NBI policy doesn't exist and the NBI/Circet installer can make it work out on the day.

    Just a follow up from my above question for anyone that will find themselves in a similar situation. I had the Fibre drop from the pole DP to the ground access chamber done today and all went well. I have to say Circet guys have been an absolute pleasure to deal with.

    Spoke with one of the installers and putting in the 1 inch hydrodare from access chamber to the planned internal ONT point is perfectly adequate. They just finished up and left a coil of ~30 meters in the access chamber for duct run to ONT.

    I got a call within the hour from Circet to set up an appointment for the final install to run it inside the building next week. I just have to get the duct installed now. There was a (SC/APC I think) terminator put on the end of the fiber so whether that has to get through the duct or not I don't know, but I doubt it. Probably put on just to test integrity of cable back to DP or OLT.
