Sorry,but i doubt it.The longest run i ever done was about 175m with a RG11 Drop cable (Biggest NTL have) & even then the services were poor due to the signal loss over distance.
The is also the matter of getting the cable from the street cab to the house.NTL installers only have hand tools,Kango's & Stihl saws & they might be inadiquite for the task.NTL might also refuse due to the cost of the install offsetting the revinue recovered after the install.
Basically,it all depends on the distance from the nearest cab to the house & the cost of the install.
Sorry,but as a ex-ntl install tech,thats my take on it.
