just as a matter of interest, has any of the guy`s cut through a nynex or virgin media cable, and if so how much did it cost to get it repaired ? we nearly cut one today, it was the usual
one inch deep and no ducting and nowhere near where it should have been

Hit a few but as they were laid beneath hedgerows, between flags and mm deep in flowerbeds we have never paid to have one fixed yet.

cut plenty as they generally are about an inch down
virgin have always come out pretty rapid and fixed it for free as they are losing revenue when it is cut

I've lost count of how many I've cut they're a bloody nightmare in fact we cut one on monday when we ripped out a frost damaged shrub. It was laid through the middle of a bed and the roots had encircled it never had a clue it was there. I've never paid for fixing it I leave that to be sorted out between the client and the network provider. Basically unless they're in an obvious spot and well buried then it's not my fault. They usually try and charge £60 for the fix but don't always get it.
Can't see it from my house
