You need to move to my street. I just had a 3rd fiber/fibre company install through my yard. :(
I dropped cable and phone 2 seasons ago for fiber and haven't gone back.
It took many techs and "setups" for them to actually get it installed. They (the company) paid for the installation as I was the 1st on my street to get fiber (this was the 1st install company.) We had so many issues, that they also gave me a $100 gift card - which was actually $200 when it arrived, so that was nice!

Not sure where you live (sounds like a non-US country?) But all I can suggest is ask around - each tech is different on their knowledge level. Most of them may not know the "Big Picture" or even care to know as all they do is install. The GOOD tech may know and explain. 

When I had cable and was forced to upgrade to the new Digital Only format, my DVR just refused to work no matter what I did. The company sent out 5 different techs and they all wanted to drill new holes into my home saying they cable needed to be replaced, replaced the line from the junction box to my home, etc.etc.etc.etc. The 5th tech showed up and I told him what the DVR was doing and he said, "oh, let me replace the DVR, we learned about that in class that some fail to obtain the proper firmware and need to be sent back." .. Then, my DVR worked great for 5 or so years before I switched to fiber.
