I've just had a look outside our house for any cable trenches or anything similar.

Outside our front door we have an area about 7 x 2 metres in size which we own, and about 2.5 metres away from that are cables trenches, about another 3 metres away from this in the middle of a public walkway area is a panel on the floor marked CATV, which has another trench leading towards the flats opposite our front door. On the wall about 5 metres away from this trench there is an NTL box with a cable leading up the wall to the first floor flat.
There is also a cable trench which seems to stop next to a column right below where our dining room is, if there is a junction box or anything buried here, an engineer could easily wire us up for cable.

If NTL are telling me there is no cable available in our area they must be crazy!! i'm now wondering if an engineer has been at all, and if if has was he just feeling lazy?
