Re: Moving ISP in old house-routing issue?

Virgins broadband doesnt use phonelines unless you've chosen virgin national which uses the same phone wiring you have. If you've gone for "fibre optic" they use co-ax cable. They dont lift paving so it seems it will have to enter via the living room. Are you just getting installed Broadband or everything?

If more than one device: They will install a brown box which can house a splitter on the wall. From there one wire "could" wrap round your house to another room and the other can go into the living room. To get to the hall the tech will staple wires round your skirting and drill through walls. If you have a crawl space under the floor he may go under it but its up to his discression and if he can fit. That way he could pop the wire from under the floor to where you want the hub to be.
