I have VM booked in for next Tues morning to install TV/Tel/BB. The small black VM box on road is to the front RHS of house. The straight route to house would go under 3 or 4 metres of grass and similar amount of tarmac, leaving grey VM box at front of house and a fair amount of internal wiring round skirting and doors to get to room where kit will be installed. The 'big girl' wont be happy if they dig up tarmac right in front of house.
The alternative and preferred route would be to go under 10 metres of grass to unused side of house and then a couple of feet of tarmac to front side of house - the wiring from grey box would then go round the back of house and straight through wall to where connections are required.
Does anyone know if VM engineer will be happy with second option or are there issues??
Does VM box have to be visible to front of house or can it be visible to front side??
Is there a loss of performance in running cable from street to grey box and then a distance on into house??
Any other issues?? I have been selling this to the big girl as a new dawn so she neeeds to be happy with the aesthetics??
