Thanks for that.

Well I can't give a detailed diagram/description as I only saw it when the engineer opened up both boxes. I just assume the splitters split each incoming direct feed (from the pavement) and one leg went into the house and the other across to one leg of the splitter in the box of the other house.
I had assumd that the spur was active from my house to the next, because about a year ago I found the next door direct feed at the pavement end exposed and open ended! So I assumed the link had been a work around. But I was never asked for permission to run the cable spur across my property or even for the engineers, whenever it was, to install it!
I am reassured to have it confirmed that no security issues arises from this. But presumably there could be an influence on the data quality/bandwidth/reliability due this extra? I believe each customer is supposed to have a dedicated cable all the way from the local street cabinet?

Thanks again

Nigel
P.S. I am obviously pursuing NTL for some payment for accessing across my property and more so because I was never asked or gave my permission!
