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:

Is it run to a DP and then to the properties, same as copper is? Certainly
save digging.


Round here its all on poles, so no digging required, just a drop cable
from the pole direct to the house.
