Just been sweeping up the front drive.

Along the edge of the drive I have found the main ntl brown cable pair from the pavement to the house. This is simply running lose along the drive, pushed slightly under the hedge.

At my last house the engineer installed the cable in 1 inch green conduit, but here it is simply lose. Near the house it looks like the squirrels have had a quick chew of it, albeit not gone right through it.

Is this right? Should the cable be in conduit? If so, would ntl come out and fit it?
