Is it possible to move the fibre cable underground?
Hi everyone,
we had full fibre installed in the house. There is underground infructructure from the pole to the house, which was used for normal broadband and phone but the engineer installing the fibre cable didn't use it and installed it overground.
Is it possible to be moved underground?
Thank you

That would indicate the local optical deployment is based on pole rather than pavement CBTs (connectorised block terminals) so there probably isn't an alternative short of paying the whole cost of FTTPOD ('on demand') to the address which could be tens of thousands of pounds in the unlikely event that Openreach would even entertain such a request.
