Inquiring About Possible Solution for TELUS PureFibre Installation Issues
I recently experienced a cancellation of my TELUS PureFibre installation due to the absence of a fibre connection from the outdoor telecommunication service box to my home's hub room. Currently, I on...

I am writing this post for those who are going through the same problem as me and struggling.
The solution I originally posted (shown below in the graphic) worked well, but I had to convince my installation technician to give a try SFP module into UFiber ActiveEthernet. I prepared everything (UFiber, PoE adopter, cables) before the technician came. Once he showed up I explained what my problem currently having, then asked him to bring SFP module to insert to UFiber. Activating SFP module took almost 30 minutes, I had to restart the UFiber multiple times, and the ethernet cable had to be connected to a device (in my case, it was connected with a MacBook with USB-c ethernet adopter) in the my media room. Finally the SFP module got activated and fed internet to my device, then I connected it into my router.
Finally I have Gigabit internet through TELUS Pure Fibre!
I think I explained a bit wrong. I have attached a diagram how I am trying to solve my problem.
The fibre is in my service box, but it is not able to bring to my hub room, because there is no fibre cable when the house was built. However, there is CAT6 Cable and COAX...

My understanding is that TELUS will connect fibre at your Service Box, and pull it to a location in your as referenced "Hub Room" allowing for the installation of the Network Access Hub.
This service would be defined as part of the TELUS obligation to connect you for service, and therefore not a chargeable item to the customer.
Part of the installation would include both a NAH and the SFP module required to the system to work. You would have the opportunity to experiment with the SFP at that time I'm sure... However know that this would be considered a non supported installation.
I would contact TELUS presales and see what they may say in regards to the installation, and if there maybe any charges to make all the connections to facilitate service.
If you find this post useful, please give the author a "Solution", or mark as "Kudo", if it solves your problem, thank you very much.
I see, sadly the technician came to my property, he said he can't install fibre into my media panel (hub room), suggested alternative way, like run fibre around garage and install wifi there, none of them was acceptable. then he asked me to cancel the installation appointment and I cancelled via text.
He said pulling the fibre cable into my hub room should be done by a low voltage technician.. and I have zero idea who can do this.
Anyways thanks for your help. I will try to contact TELUS presales regarding this.
Thank you!
I think a Low Voltage Apps Technician is just a person who builds LANs WANs etc using (low voltage including fiber optic cables) CAT6, Fiber etc But I'm only going by google 🙂
