My pot was put where I wanted it. It is best to speak to the project engineer. If doing what you want won't cost much more they will quite possibly do what you want.

That's good to know.

... as in Lightwater in Surrey ?

Yep. Those pictures are from an FTTP build there - it was a convenient picture of narrow trenching with lateral cuts.

That doesn't look too bad. If they just cut in the pavement and not the road. They will have to shift a lot of cars from the pavements around here first though.

They'll have to cross roads somewhat too, obviously, but where possible will use the pavement. It costs a fair bit more to go through the carriageway.

Regarding placement of pots / Toby boxes: they will go as close to your property as possible while still being on public land. If you're on a private road or have private driveway they'll build the Toby at your property boundary or the road boundary unless you have agreed and signed a wayleave agreement, however that is at the discretion of whomever is managing the project.

Ah, OK. Just down the road from here then.

It looked kinda familiar, like maybe when Virgin recently deployed round that way .

Yes indeed. Cityfibre are in for some fun finding room in pavements when there's underground Openreach plant and VM's fibre within 50cm of the surface.

I am sure Openreach would quite like to use NT however Ofcom would string them up for not giving OLOs passive infrastructure to access.

Completely agree.
