For context, this wall socket was pre-build while they built this apartment block 10 years ago. There was never an internetprovider for this apartment. I won’t be needing a telephone nor televison. Internet only.
Since it’s already being cabled, can it be plug & play by myself? If I can save 50 euro to avoid a technician to come, I’d be glad to.
Thanks ahead!
Hope someone can help you here. On another note, who is downvoting all posts on this subreddit? I noticed it a while ago, it’s just weird.
Did EDPnet not go bankrupt last year?
Anyway, as far as I remember xDSL only needs 2 wires to work.
It IS however possible that it’s not connected on the street cabin since it was never used.
I’d gamble you’ll be fine 🙂
Not a tech; but had to pull my own cable & set it up like yours.
I guess you’re going for xDSL. If you have previously used it and it worked; you’re good to go;
You’ll just need to plugin an RJ11 from one of the black ports and into your modem. Set up your login credentials and be on your merry way.
If you never used it, or you’re a new tenant testing it out then better get a “Proximus” connection for 1 month so they set it up for “free”-> cancel it & go back to edpnet for the next month :p
If you don’t use an analog landline, you can hook it up to the DSL-port and plug it in the RJ11 socket. If you do use one, you can leave it like this but you need to use a splitter to be plugged into the NTP.
As mentioned before, it needs to be hooked up in the street cabinet.
Most of the times they’ll send a Proximus technician to measure and test the line.
I switched to EDP in a 17 y/o apartment, not knowledgeable with internet connection myself We let the technician came, bought there recommended modem. It did cost a decent amount but with their subscription cost it takes only 1 year and a bit to break even compared to the free modem fee installation packages of the better known competitors.
8 months in, never had any problems of any kind.
Besides the technical question, I’ve heart that EDPNet isn’t doing well financially. Might want to look into that before switching.
You need a Circuit ID (CID, starts with a 10 and is 12 digits long) to get your VDSL line activated without technician. Sometimes there is a label with the CID stuck on the NTP wall socket. Otherwise you find the CID on your invoice of your current VDSL provider.If there never was a VDSL subscription on your address, there is possibly no Circuit ID registered for your line.
Cheapest option is to first get Scarlet Loco (free installation and activation), wait for the first invoice, lookup the CID and change to EDPnet.
