The optical patch cord will be placed in an existing cable gutter. The presence of the cable gutter is the responsibility of the Customer. The Proximus technician will perform no drilling work and will not apply any vertical cabling.

The connecting of the Fiber NT to the Fiber Intro-point results in the Activation of the Fiber Service.

6.3 The installation of the DTP (if required) and the Fiber Intro-point will be performed by the same Proximus technician. This is the so-called Termination Part of the Fiber Intro-point & NT Installation. The installation of the Fiber NT will be performed by another Proximus technician. This is the so-called Connection Part of the Fiber Intro-point & NT Installation. Therefore two (2) different appointments at the Installation Address of the Customer will be required. External factors (Syndic, municipality ...) can lead to the required works having to be carried out in more phases.

6.4 In the event that a communicated Appointment Time cannot be met by the Customer or the Contact Person, for any reason, edpnet should be informed of this immediately in writing.

8. Worry-Free Installation for DSL

8.1 A Worry-Free Installation for DSL involves that edpnet will take all necessary actions so that the DSL Service can be used by the Customer. A detailed description of what a Worry-Free Installation for DSL does and does not include can be found on https://www.edpnet.be/en/support/installation-and-usage/internet/learn-about-dsl-installations/what-is-a-worry-free-installation.html.

A Worry-Free Installation for DSL can consist of two (2) parts, namely a Telecom Installation and an installation of the Hardware. If it appears that a Telecom Installation is necessary, edpnet will try to have both the Telecom Installation and the installation of the Hardware carried out by an edpnet technician so that only one (1) appointment is required. If it turns out that it is not possible to have the Telecom Installation carried out by an edpnet technician, it will be carried out by a Proximus technician. The installation of the Hardware by an edpnet technician will then be scheduled as soon as possible after the completion of the Telecom Installation and the Activation of the DSL line. In such a case two (2) different appointments at the Installation Address of the Customer will be required.

For the separately performed Telecom Installation by a Proximus technician, the provisions of chapter 5 of these Installation Conditions apply. For (the part of) the Worry-Free Installation for DSL performed by an edpnet technician the provisions of this chapter 8 apply.
