Well that is interesting.
The original method of feeding our houses was by a small underground duct/tube that loops along the front of each house in the row, appearing in a box in each house's front wall where 1 pair would be diverted through the inner wall into the house before the rest of the cable went down into another duct/tube to the next house, and so on. This also carried the now closed BT Cable TV service.
When we were moved to the other cabinet last year, a 10 pair cable was put in, with Openreach's stated intention that if other customers in our row complained about "unsolvable" problems, they would also be diverted onto this new cable, by cross connecting the old and new cables in the box in the front of my house.
A few months after I was moved to the new cabinet and cable, our neighbour two doors up also got moved on to it.
So this cable and duct under my garden now not only service my house, but a neighbour's as well. How does that change things?
It's not an issue for me at the moment, but I'm very tempted to move over to CityFibre which is now available in my area, and could end up with a duct, cable and joint on my property that services others, but not me.
