I fibre to the premise (service delivery), my role is to work on behalf of the SP by connecting the customer to the existing network. in simple words is to provide the fibre connection from CBT to the ONT (optical terminal which connect to the customer router) fibre broadband connection. Typical day to day involve going to the pole or UG, check the light level and connect the cable (Hybrid OH or UG), pull it to the customer house and then put CSP outside and ONT inside (splice it) then the broadband should be connected....
