Think it`s fairly basic technology, so probably all do what it says on the tin
on grassland its about 18-20" afaik land that will never be touched of course, perm grassHope that mole is nice and deep...
Good news on the way though...
Fttp here. Don't get your hopes too high, BT are useless cxnts. Openreach are useless cxnts. If I was Hitler I would of aimed for British telecom not Poland.
On a brighter note it does work. But yeah, its been strung all along existing poles. Some of it hangs down like your grannys nickers

Mostly Rigg n Furrow ground that ive seen which will never be cultivatedNot very deep at all then....
"Never" is a long time, but not so bad if around headlands I suppose.
Surely Rigg and Furrow 'was' cultivated?Mostly Rigg n Furrow ground that ive seen which will never be cultivated
not in 3 generations its deffo not been !! & thats 120+ yearsSurely Rigg and Furrow 'was' cultivated?
On my meanderings yesterday I was on a minor road and noticed that fibre had been strung out alongside the original copper.
I came to where it stopped and saw that a fair length was coiled up and taped to the pole.
Ever curious I stopped to examine it looking to find the end but failed.
I was amazed at how light the cable was. I had assumed that there would be a steel core to act as a catenary but obviously not.
Presumable they are using a non metallic filament as the strain taker, possibly carbon fibre or maybe the whole cable itself has enough tensile strength?
The usual Overhead fibre cables has the fibre optics already within . Underground ducts often have the fibres seperate though they seem to be using more cable with fibres inside underground now. Overhead Usually used with these connectors.That will be empty ducting with no optic fibres inside - Openreach have just done the poles on the road, at the end of my lane.

Aye, You are right.That's a standard copper wire junction box.

Amazing!Indeed= they blow the fibre threads into those small "pipes" when they are ready to connect
some are yes, for instance there is ducting under the east coast line no far from me as the local IT firm who ran the Fibre cabling had to use that duct.Tell me something. Are old BT copper phone lines underground put in ducts or not? I mean isit much of a job to pull fibre through to replace them??
