Having assumed that the new internet would use the same under-street pipes as the old internet, I was out the front of the house taking final measurements of the distances between internal and external corners of walls, drainpipes and plug sockets when the installation engineer arrived and started talking about actual telegraph poles, specifically the one visible from the other end of the house, from which the wire which had delivered the previous resident's landline telephone was still strung. Fortunately, moving the attachment point slightly allowed the new wire to enter the loft between the blocked-up squirrel hole and the dormant wasp nest, where it can sit for the time being until we start messing about with new stairs and Veluces and whatnot, whereupon there is enough slack cable to tuck modems and converters behind the eaves. Whilst it slightly complicates my plan to have the telly and the youngsters' electronic video game console ethernetted directly to the router it should, with long enough cables, still be possible.
