I can indeed wait but was unsure if Openreach would install down our track as its marked as 'Private'.&nbsp; Do you think they would install a fibre optic cable to replace the copper wire (old telephone wire) going from hub to pole to our house? The Openreach website says are meant to be doing something in our street this year but not sure if that is from hub, along the public road, to individual houses. The fact that we have this darn Private track thing may complicate things....hence my question.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Sat, 31 Jan 2026 15:50:36 GMT SteveSeaMeadow 2026-01-31T15:50:36Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Installing-full-fibre-optic-cable-to-my-house/m-p/5202192#M549638 <P>I live down a short lane that is private. I presently have copper cable going overhead to my house from a fibre hub on the main road. I would like full fibre optic cable to my house. My two neighbours down this track might like it too. How do I begin to enguage someone to install that please?&nbsp; &nbsp;</P> Sat, 31 Jan 2026 15:18:28 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Installing-full-fibre-optic-cable-to-my-house/m-p/5202192#M549638 SteveSeaMeadow 2026-01-31T15:18:28Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Installing-full-fibre-optic-cable-to-my-house/m-p/5202215#M549648 <P><a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4605015">@SteveSeaMeadow</a>&nbsp;Are you not prepared to wait for the roleout off fibre if it is coming to your location?

If we had fibre as you know, we could get speeds of hundreds of MBs. Will check those links.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 31 Jan 2026 16:09:52 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Installing-full-fibre-optic-cable-to-my-house/m-p/5202248#M549657 SteveSeaMeadow 2026-01-31T16:09:52Z
