Spray paint

This morning I noticed a spray painted green square with a diagonal cross in it, on the pavement outside my house. No other markings like it in the street. Is this likely anything to do with Virgin or any other telecoms company? (I understand it’s the colour they all use), and if so, does anyone know what it means?

Telecoms use green paint.

Keep looking. If the marking has just been put there it may take a while to be approved. Also check the date setting on the site.

Telecoms use green. I have never seen them use that orange colour.

I have known BT/OpenReach to use white.
