so, i just moved into my new apartment and there is an existing HKT/PCCW fibreoptic cable connection into my home.
however it seems to be "bespoke" in that the paths from outside the apartment to inside is blocked and a new cable is not able to be laid.
smartone guys comes in, and says he cant lay a smartone / hkbn connection for that reason. he said he is not able to use the existing HKT cable as its a different company.
i dont know much about fibreoptics but is that true? sounds a bit inefficient if we need to have 2 need to lay 2 separate lines for 2 seperate companies? i would have thought there would be a centralised exchange outside the apartment where they can just "switch" over the cable.. but i could be wrong.
