Sorry mate i don't think i explained properly i have a twin socket in the location i would like the ONT but is it ok to have the ONT, Router and something else plugged in at the same time using
an adapter like the one below?

From an electrical point of view, all of the devices are low power, so they will all operate perfectly well plugged into that multi-plug dooh-dad on the right.

However, the size and orientation of the plugs may physically block you from plugging anything into the second socket, or the plugs might get in the way of eachother.

I’m out in the middle of nowhere and struggled with a 10/1 connection at best, while the villagers next door all had FTTP installed via different providers.

One day, a government scheme came along that allowed me to claim a voucher and redeem it with a little fiber company called InternetTY.

I now have a 1GB/1GB connection to my house that is super quick for downloading large files but not really that much different on a day to day basis. So much so I’ve dropped the speed down twice. Currently on 300/300 and may even drop it again

So basically, yes it may be worth it as a 100/100 connection will cost me £20 a month which is cheaper that my old copper copper connection

But with WiFi speeds will be all over the place unless you invest in a mesh system for many rooms. I have a Synology mesh and it’s not cheap.

I have a tp link mesh which has been great but I fear mesh systems won’t work with a lot of these fibre companies as they want you to pay a monthly fee for their mesh system . I’ll see when mine gets installed next week. But a mate of mine can’t use his so either has to pay a monthly fee for their mesh system or a monthly fee for a static IP address so he can use box current kit. Hate this kind of cynical ‘service provision’. Tempt you in with headline cheap rates but impose restrictions meaning you need to purchase additional ‘services’.
