Had a virginmedia guy out to throw the cable over the roof to feed the services to the room at the rear of the house (it's a terraced house, nothing special).

We told VM that we want the services in the back and that the cable will simply need throwing over the roof.

The guy arrived at 8:45 on Saturday (he was booked for the afternoon slot of 12 - 6pm!) and simply said "oh no we're only insured to two meters up a ladder) and starting rambling on about how drilling through the wall might "knacker the wall and skirting".

I wasn't home and my Mrs accepted his sorry excuses for an early finish and I'm now here wondering what cable is used and what connectors I'll need to do the job myself.

While I'm here I'm wondering what options to VM there are (that are fast with their connections whilst cheap).

I hope you can help me get my VM just 4 meters away from its current location. As VM can't.
