Default Virgin Media Installation Conundrum

I think it's quite obvious where the cable is going to be if they 'never
touch block paving' - it gets clipped to your fence, or if you have a garden
wall, it gets clipped to that - if you don't fancy either of these ideas,
you ain't getting cable installed.

FWIW, they don't lift anything, for flags, they run the cable between the
joints - yes even if they are staggered, and for tarmac and concrete, they
grind out a small channel about an inch deep, put the cable into place and
fill in.



The only way they can do that would be to run the cable on top of the
pavement, the pavement in our cul-de-sac is also block paved, as is
the road. There is simply no route to my property that isn't block
paved for at least 1.5metres width.
