Commonsense would suggest if you laying across a garden that you would put it down a good spades depth+, as suggested, to prevent a future spade going through it.

But it depends how hard the ground is. Installers only carry basic tools and if it is hard ground they won't waste time breaking through it.

You have instructed them to remove it, they have said they won't. In the absence of an agreement between you and Virgin Media for it to be there they are trespassing and you are within your rights to remove it.

If you wanted service in the future, or a subsequent owner wanted service, VM will just run another cable to the property.
