Mine is optic all the way to the ONT which on a shelf on a wall about 10 feet from the entrance point into our home. The TELUS tech probably would've pulled the fiber to any point in that furnace/utility room.

nice! Thanks. Is it an open run? My basement is finished, although there is room above the ceiling to run cable/conduit and you can see above the finished ceilings from the mechanical room. How much effort do the Telus guys put into fishing cable inside your house?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My fibre line was really long, there was a big wound up spool where it came in the house the installer could've installed the ONT anywhere in my basement, but terminated it just long enough to run directly into the ONT. Assuming this is standard practice to run a long line once it enters the premise, you should be able to install the ONT in your rack in the middle of the basement.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I’ve got maybe 6 extra feet of spool. I would also like to relocate my ONT elsewhere.

The fiber entrance into our home and where the ONT are is an open utility room. Easy peasy for the TELUS guy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I got them to terminate the fibre exactly where I wanted it in my utility room, but wasn't exactly a hard install for them. Got the SFP based ONT, immediately took it out of the Actiontec (which is now shelved) and plugged it into a Chelsio dual SFP+ card in my router. Works no problem in the Chelsio card but the PON SFP didn't work in an Intel SFP+ card so your mileage may vary with the UDM since not all SFP/SFP+ ports will support it.
I use Shaw for TV so don't have any experience setting up the IGMP side of things for Optik TV.
I wonder what the limits of their interest in fishing through a finished basement is.
Not sure, but they fished mine from my detached garage into my basement through whatever conduit was there, and the guy sweated that plenty. He swore there were extra corners.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

There’s about 30ft of fibre from the side of the house to this spot in my utility room. Then I was left with what looks to be another 20-25ft.

So they seem to be doing all of the digging for conduit, which I assume is the orange piping? Do they do that through the whole community before laying the actual fiber, or are they doing both at once? I'm trying to figure out the order of operations here, so I know what kind of timing to expect for installation.
I also have this box on the side of the house for telco, which I've never used (AGT..haha).
Do they generally run the fiber back up through that existing box, or put a new one on?
I think it’s funny that you have made the connection that those guys are Telus.
You just be hurtin for some gigabit!

Just that if I saw those trucks in my neighborhood they wouldn’t immediately be screening “Telus FTTH” to me. Haha

Not sure how this will work exactly, but they will probably be pulling in the fiber after each area is pulled. It will take some time to splice everything after the duct/wire is pulled a couple/few months yet I imagine. Not sure how they deal with getting it directly to a house. I doubt the duct at your house runs all the way to the telus pedestal.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
