Re: What cable do I need for Telewest installation?

This makes it an easier install for them if you lay the cables yourself (a negotiating point).

Good luck
In retrospect, I wish I'd had the foresight to do the same, as today I'm left with a foot of naked cable exposed in the street thanks to a pair of botches that this company has subcontracted. If I had done it, perhaps I wouldn't have fitted my Telewest box at an angle of 30 degrees either, with 2*10 wood screws.

Seriously, High School kids could do me a better installation that what I just got.
