There is ducting under the pavement outside your house. They pull the cable from the nearest street cabinet, to your front garden, through this ducting. That is what has become blocked, and it will require a visit from a special team to clear the blockage before they can install the cable to your home. This may well involve them digging the street up although I don't know, they may be able to get access to poke something up the pipe to clear it.
