Yellow stripe usually indicates fibre. (and the cable "recyclers" have
been educated that any time they see yellow stripes or cable flags there
is no scrap value for it!)

Here is a termination point near us before any customers were hooked up
to it - you can see the yellow stripe cable:

Any idea what it is? I'm assuming frome the diameter and low flxibility
(there were a couple of loose coils taking up a lot of the footway and the
bit being handled wasn't floppy like flex) that it's possibly FTTP. The van
didn't have any markings on it.

Probably a sub contractor for openreach.
