Thanks for the feedback folks. It is all boarded, with a ladder, lighting and power supply up there so should be doable. Basically if it isn’t going there it’s unlikely to happen.

One more thing, I think my only option is OpenReach via IDNet at the moment but I did notice Cityfibre digging half a mile down the road over the summer. Just checked their website and they are expecting availability at my address shortly.

Is it worth holding on for Cityfibre or doesn’t make much difference ?

Depends on the CityFibre Civils Contractor.

If they haven't already dug your road, it could be a while before they dig it. Once the infrastructure is in place, it took about 3-months before we could order service (I didn't order straight away anyway).

My opinion would be - go with what you can get now - as by the time CF may be available to you, your existing IDNet contract may be up for renewal (IDnet also provide service over CF I believe...and it may be cheaper than OR). They may be able to migrate you (not officially via any migration process) to the CF infrastructure and save you some money...

Cable clips never stay in render! Get some TowerSchneider Pin Plugs https://www.millsltd.com/default/wall-pin-plugs-pk-1... A 5mm hole and the cable clips hammered in

These look good, I need to order some.

I use plenty of them - in mortar courses or bricks wherever I need a cable clip. The best around are te Tower/Schneider ones - most electical wholesalers keep them as do ScrewFix
