Complain and get them back, they were just cutting corners.</P> Thu, 06 Apr 2023 10:24:19 GMT licquorice 2023-04-06T10:24:19Z https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/New-FTTP-laid-in-lawn-without-trunking/m-p/2287062#M345446 <P>I’m getting FTTP and engineer had found no existing conduit at property so needed team to come and dig and lay new cable. &nbsp;They’ve been today and aside from short stretch of conduit from BT unit in pavement to our lawn, rest of cable was laid directly into a shallow trench in lawn, without any trunking or conduit. &nbsp;I queried it and engineer said that’s how they do it now. &nbsp;Is this normal? &nbsp;Seems a great way to cut costs but also risks damage to cable in future.&nbsp;</P> Thu, 06 Apr 2023 10:21:01 GMT https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/New-FTTP-laid-in-lawn-without-trunking/m-p/2287062#M345446 Nooby 2023-04-06T10:21:01Z https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/New-FTTP-laid-in-lawn-without-trunking/m-p/2287064#M345447 <P>No, it is not normal.
