You could have put in a telephone cable 40 years ago.

I do still have a reasonable amount of GPO 4 core. I suspect after being
buried for 40 years it might not still be working.

The feed to my house is now 50 years old and still works
fine and does 130mbit vdsl2 fine.

but, you have noted that we live in a "soggy little island" I suspect
water might play its part in degrading the cable
