Well I presume they will have checked this when you signed up, but if you look along the pavement, just outside each house there should be a quite small flush cover with a logo on it.

Ours is about 2 or 3 inches square & says 'Diamond Cable', but the design will vary, depending on which franchise did the original installation.

The cover conceals access to a conduit leading to the nearest 'street cabinet', which is a node for the various connections to the neighbouring houses. The cable is pulled through the conduit from the street cab & thence to your house. You can think of each conduit access point as as T junction off a ring road.
