Openreach wants to Drill a hole

Hello

 

I got a message from openreach saying that they are needing to drill a hole for fibre. I rather this not happen. If it is needing done, how big will the hole be?

@Naseem1012  This does need done and the hole is not that big and is sealed at both ends to stop anythng getting in.

If someone has helped give them Like.

If you have found this solution helpful please tick this as the answer.

For a new FTTP installation, the optical cable has to enter the property somehow.  If you are not prepared to consent to drilling then the order would have to be cancelled: it's no longer possible for ISPs to provision service over existing copper phone cabling in areas within the scope of the national  Openreach optical network.

 

As @Highlinder indicates, both ends are covered:
