Deffo looks like Virgin cable.

I find it incredible how many times you can see these cables exposed. Seems to be more and more frequent recently. Installation botch jobs!!

definitely Virgin, as CEL says their installers are definitely bigger cowboys than the Nynex/C&W guys of old

I would also say virgin, they will appear on a wall inside the house in a cream/white aerial / phone socket.

Another one for virgin. They usually go into a brown or grey box on the front of the house, behind that is where they enter the house.

Could also be your BT line,

We had the same in a flower bed in one of the flats we lived in some years ago

It's your neighbour who has tapped into your supply........they have a crop growing in their garage

Quick run outside with a spade and put a pair of marigolds on and cut through it

They are shocking! I had them due to install at my house and they rang me saying they can't do it as there's nowhere to run the cable. I told them that I assumed they'd lift the slabs on my driveway and run it under there, being as that was the space between the junction in the street and my house. I got told they aren't allowed to lift them for health and safety! I drove home from work and hinged up 5 slabs while two blokes watched me do it. They then chucked the cable down, so I had to bury it slightly as the moving slabs would have broken it. They did manage to drill an untidy hole (breaking a chunk out the brick) and then run the cable round my door frame with those hideous cable clamps.

Then one of the skanky little cretins asked to use my loo, yup you guessed it worst dump ever and left my pan all skidded up. He stank of ****e anyway, dirty useless *****.
