Contractors laying fibre for virgin without conduit
Contractors (Redburn) are currently laying fibre on our estate on behalf of virgin media but they're laying the fibre directly on the gravel in the trench without and conduit then packing more gravel hard on top with a compactor.
That surely can't be the way to protect the fibre? We've had barely functioning internet here since we moved in due to damaged copper cable, I'll be gutted if we get the same issue with fibre.
I wonder if the contractor has been paid to do a better job than they're bothering with.
That’s not fibre, just a tube that the fibre is blown through. The fibre is only 1 or 2 mm thick. This is now how all new ones are done.
