You need to find out where is the junction box. Is usually on the back of your house.

Than where you want to put the IPTV (for me is useless, nothing to watch)

Not sure but neighbor told me it comes from the front for UNIFI and streamyx come from the back lol...

Actually I've done all require hiding for the phone line as initially planning to use streamyx, but now only realize streamyx is only 4mbps where else Unifi add Rm10 more can get 5mbps.. further more company is paying for my internet fees so thought of taking 10mbps.. (my gf donwload movie like mad woman) and sometimes i need to do conference call with oversea client that is why company is willing to pay for the unifi.

Then problem now my house started to paint.. now faster call unifi ppl come pull to roof masuk plaster ceiling, drill 1 small hole come out from plaster ceiling ? but it will still have a pvc cover from ceiling down to the routter or wat ever the machine is call... hmm still dun get it peningĀ  rclxub.gif

Ask them come, they can suggest you the best location. You need to pay them for extra length, and hacking. Don't expect good plastering quality from them.

Plaster ceiling is easy to say than done. You need to have access to the back for the Plaster ceiling to be able pull the fiber over.

You should see a TM / Unifi fiber box. If its in front than cable will come from front. If its back it will come from back.
something like this

As long as you have not shifted in to the house, most of the problems can be solved. Else you will get hell from HM for the dust & mess created....

For plaster ceiling, as long as you have space above the ceiling for access, should not pose a major problem.  tongue.gif

Not easy to access unless you have manhole made. Downlight hole can't do much.

If wire pull inside the roof, is much easy.

Some condo use Copper for unifi. You need to check your area.

Where do you want the Unifi terminate? That will decide how the wire run.

I think is MDF room, or riser.
