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.

I've just had mine done and the chaps were quite happy to discuss all
sorts of options. They bury the cable in a green 1" tube and, in my case,
after burying it in the garden, they cut out a trench across a concrete
path (albeit along an existing join) and filled it in with quick-setting
mortar.

That said, they DO like to pin it to the wall wherever they can; it's much
quicker for them!

Yes that is what I expected. Shortest route down the garden then clip to the
wall. Although it will be slightly longer I am hoping to get them to come
diagonally across the garden. They only need to dig into the MOT sub base as
the the block paving hasn't been laid yet.
