When Virgin Media is installed, does it require digging up the garden to lay the cable, or is it fed through?

Just wondering about this, because we have a massive fuchsia in our front garden.

hahaha thats if they even bother to bury it theyve left ours just trailing down the street and now they want to charge 75 quid to come back and finish the job they should have done in the first place!
Reply:in your case then they will use a satellite
Reply:Can't you put the fuchsia in a pot while they dig up the garden? lol
Reply:They may nail to to a fence. Its only optics and so no need to bury it.





We inherited cable at our last house, i ripped it out just by grabbing the wire and walking down the length of the garden pulling the cable from the fence as I went - a really rubbish installation job.
Reply:in our case they dug a shallow trench and laid the cable in strong ducting. They will try and take a direct route from the connection point in the road. watch over them though because they prefer to make it easy on themselves. I had to call them back because it was poorly done.
Reply:When NTL as it was called 5 years ago installed ours we just had a cable with some slack in it laid over the soil between the road and the house. You can bury it if you want we were told. Still have not got around to doing it!
Reply:Ours was done many many years ago, when they were known as Yorkshire Cable... even before Telewest..





They just opened a slit trench and layed the cable in there.. once closed, it was almost invisible... only on the concrete path in front of the window was there any sign of work being done.
Reply:They dug a trench up the garden where the cable was going it isnt buried deep though
