Fiber
How long does it take to install Olin's fiber optic service?
The installation period is usually between 3-7 working days, excluding situations with technical difficulties that require additional work or permits.
How is the Olin fiber optic home installation carried out?
The fiber optic installation consists of two stages: wiring and fusion + router connection. Both stages are performed on the same day, except in cases of technical difficulties. The installation usually takes between 2-3 hours.
What should I do if my internet is not working at home?
If the LOS indicator is red: This means that there is a WiFi signal but no optical signal is reaching the router through the fiber cable, and therefore you don’t have internet access.
Follow these steps:
- Check the condition of the fiber cable (usually yellow, sometimes white) that goes from the wall socket to the router. Make sure there are no visible damages or physical breaks, it’s not bent at angles greater than 90 degrees, it’s not caught on any furniture or carrying any weight, and it’s not too tight (it should have some slack).
- Check the physical connection of the cable both at the wall socket and at the router. Disconnect and reconnect the cable at both ends, always making sure that the cable only has one correct orientation for connecting, which is identified by the small protrusion on both connectors.
- If the issue is not resolved after these checks and manipulations, contact our customer service at number 1560 so that they can perform a general review of the area, rule out the possibility of a general incident on the street that affects several customers, and create the appropriate technical visit report.
If the router doesn’t turn on and no light turns on: This means that there is no WiFi signal, either because the router is turned off or it doesn’t have power.
Follow these steps:
- Check the position of the physical power button located at the back of the router, as well as the power cable that connects the electrical outlet (plug) to the router itself.
- Make sure it is properly connected at both ends and try plugging it into a different electrical outlet, in case the problem is due to the house’s outlet. We recommend that the router be connected directly to a wall socket, rather than through a power strip or surge protector. Also, make sure that there is power in the house and that it’s not a general technical problem.
- If the issue is not resolved after these checks and manipulations, contact our customer service at number 1560 so that they can create the appropriate technical visit report.

In the case of automatic reactivation of the service due to non-compliance with the condition, the customer will not be able to return to the suspension of the service until 1 January of the following year. Once the new year begins, the customer will be responsible for requesting a new suspension if required.
The calculation of the maximum days that a service must be active will be prorated in the event that the service has not been active for a calendar year.
Can I schedule a future suspension if my service has already been paused?
When the customer’s service is suspended due to a pause, it will not be possible to proceed with the programming of another suspension in the future. On the other hand, with the service suspended, the customer will be able to request its reactivation, either at the moment or in the future by defining an exact date.
