Re: Installing virgin
Unless you can get the guys digging in the street to put a groove to your house then it will be a No, virgin installers have a couple of spades to dig, thats all

Re: Installing virgin
Do they not send someone out before installation to inspect and ascertain what needs done. I saw a driveway being tracked last week .

Re: Installing virgin
They do only have spades, but where they can't dig the installers may lay the cables along the edge in 'green tubing' and cover it with cement.
..at least this is what they have done to three of my friends installations.

Re: Installing virgin
Is the road under the ownership of the local council (adopted)?
The expansion agreement is with the local council. If the road is still owned by a developer or such like it will not be in the expansion plans.

Re: Installing virgin
This is similar to my thread - my diagram wasn't very clear - there is a neighbour's driveway entrance between my garden and the footpath area. My concern is that the toby box might get placed on the edge of the footpath but not come across the tarmac. I think I'll have to find out who owns what...
It would be a shame not to be able to get VM owing to a 3m strip of tarmac after having FTTP install in the street.
