if you have a housing estate, what is the best type of comms cable that you lay from the main road into the housing estate and into every house ?

is it fibre optic cable ?

anyone know anything about this, or where one can find more info

Ta,

Milan.

Fibre, then when the swimming pool at Chez Benes(

) springs a leak you won't lose your comms.

I'm shocked that you are prepared to go near a housing estate. I thought you were Czech royalty.

Milan,

The type of cable that you lay depends upon what you want to do with it, what network toplology you have (ring or star) and where your network equipment is (all in the exchange or in street cabinets).

WTF are you asking about housing estates?

Burberry insulation is a legal requirement for some UK estates.
