I am to move house in the near future and although the new property has a brown NTL box at the front of the building there is no evidence of an interior cable running from it. I wish to have tv/phone/broadband in a room at the rear of the building and as construction is still in progress I am considering laying the cable myself whilst flooring/walls are still unfinished. The idea being that equipment can be connected at a time to be selected in the next month or so. Naturally I need to know the exact specification of the cable used and if it is freely available to purchase. Can anyone provide this information. Comments would also be welcome as to the feasibility of the idea. I have only a two-week period in which this can be done as new flooring is shortly to be laid. Another option is to lay some conduit for a future cable to be fed through. Obviously I could contact Virgin direct and ask them to check it out but I think this may well delay the build if I have to wait for them. Thanks for your input.
