Re: Removing Virgin Media wiring?

The current wiring comes out of a grey box outside the front door and then through a hole into the garage. From the garage one part goes into the house to the omnibox upstairs for the cable modem and a (no longer used) phone socket. The other part of the cable continues on it the other garage wall, along the house and to a phone socket in the living room. There is no TV.

My intention was to remove all the cables all the way back to the grey box outside, as the routing of the cables will be used for the new service, and I would prefer not to drill any more holes in the house.

I didn't want to go delving into the grey box outside, hence the question about is it OK just to cut the cables there.
The answer to that is NO the cable may still be connected at the cab and you could be introducing interference into the network.
