Hi,

 

Firstly sorry for writing in English. I would like to hire an Odido technician to add a cat5/6 wire from the modem (next to entrance door) to my home office room (2nd floor) where i work and play video games. I searched through the website but couldn’t find how.

 

It’s a rental house so i don’t have many options, i was hoping to replace the PTT landline but my room doesn’t have one (the bed room on the 2nd floor has it) so i think the only option is to replace one of the power lines. I think it’s best to get some advise from a technician.

 

Thanks.

Hello @Sarbast 

Because you rent the house why don't you try powerline adapters?

It sends internet over the electricity in your house, it will be a lot more easier. Just plug and play :)


Hi Waqqas, i didn’t even know this is a thing but it feels like dark magic and i don’t want that in my house hhhh

 

But jokes aside, i have gigabyte internet from Odido and i’m playing online games a lot so i prefer ethernet cable all the way to my computer.


@Sarbast 

Odido can only give you tips I think, it's better to ask a local technician/friend if he can help you and look at what needs to be done.

Permission from your landlord might be needed. Any costs incurred will not be reimbursed.


Not worried about the costs, i was hoping to have an Odido technician because the internet is from them, i see KPN have similar services: https://www.kpn.com/service/ugs/servicemonteur-internet


If I where you I would just try some powerline adapters first, if you're not happy with them, just sent them back during the 14day return window and you'll be reimbursed for the full amount.

If you are happy with the results you get from the powerlines it's a lot easier and probably cheaper then a technician.

Just to add: odido does not sent mechanics for stuff like this. They work with mechanics from Guidion, you can ask them about the costs and an appointment. Usually your local technicians will be cheaper though. 


I read about it, the results are not promising. I will try find a local one then. 


I see all other providers have technician for extra services, could someone from Odido confirm if they provide this service also?


@Sarbast 

As @Okidokidough allready said, Guidion is the installation partner of Odido so they do the installation work, also see this page:

Thanks Waqqas, I see the rates for additional work but how to hire? should i call Odido support or Guidion?


@Sarbast 

You should call Guidion than.
