For G.fast services, Capti installs the Network Termination Device (NTD) on the first socket in your premises. This is done to ensure the best possible performance and reliability. Here’s why:

1. What is the First Socket?

The first socket is the primary phone socket where the building’s external phone line connects. It is the closest point to where the external network enters the premises.

2. Why Install the NTD Here?

  • Best Signal Quality: The first socket provides the cleanest and strongest signal because it’s the direct entry point. Installing the NTD here minimizes signal loss and interference.
  • Reduced Interference: Additional wiring and other sockets in the building can cause interference. By placing the NTD at the first socket, Capti avoids this, ensuring a stable and fast connection.

3. Maximizing G.fast Speeds

G.fast technology relies on short, high-quality connections to deliver its fast speeds. The closer the NTD is to the entry point, the better the connection quality and overall performance.

4. Simple and Efficient Setup

Installing the NTD on the first socket also makes the setup simpler and quicker, reducing potential issues during installation and improving reliability.
