Photo below. I’ve just noticed these cables exposed on the pavement just outside my property. I’m not 100% sure these are virgin media cables, or going into my property, but it seems likely given the angle and location of my Virgin Media external box.
Are these cables safe like this?
Yeah that's VMO2's siamese cable with phone cable on one side and coaxial on the other.
Having it exposed like that isn't at all uncommon and many cable installs have lengths of completely uncovered cable.
It looks ugly but isn't a safety risk. Would be good if they fix it before that cable gets walked on too much though.
That looks like something from one of the first cable build areas. Literally a plastic bung over the end of the tee duct. The correct way to fix is a construction team to excavate & put in a proper toby termination box.
