Not a diy question but I am sure that I can get an answer here. If I am going to cable telephone installed what route does the cable take from the street into the existing telephone system in the house. Is it the shortest route underground to the front of the house then around the outside wall into the existing land line cable into the master box or is some other route possible. My front garden is currently excavated pending a block paving drive being fitted. The ground is covered with hardcore and the MOT layer. Can they bring the cable in by excavating the MOT diagonally across the front garden then bring the cable under the floor of the porch then go into the existing cable into the master box. That would avoid clipping cable to the outside wall of the house but would the cable company do anything else.
