Cable installation issue

[Dazvr6]

Just wondering if this is the normal way the cables are run across property to the house?

The cable is exposed with no protection at the pavement and I'm worried it will get damaged when the bush is trimmed and unhappy with it not being buried at either end.

VM's cables are often installed by sub-contractors in the quickest and easiest way possible.

Are you a new customer or existing?

Posting up some photos of the problem(s) may help the VM forum team when they get here (usually within a few days).

Thanks for the reply. 

I'm a new customer.  The engineer that installed the router took a couple of pics of the cable and said he would send them in but not sure if anything is happening.

Here's some pictures
