This has definately been asked before so apologies in advance for repetition but just looking for up to date info.

My builder has just dug a trench and laid ducting for ESB into house and he asked me about the ducting for phone line- he has the appropriate ducts and everything and the box is on the wall.

There are poles at the front and behind my place so I contacted Eircom and they said to just put the duct to the closest pole. I had assumed that they would come out and show me exactly where the trench should be dug(like the ESB did). I am not sure will I get a phone line in straight away so am I safe enough just laying the ducts in a trench towards the nearest pole and leaving it at that or should I be doing more to make life easier.

Cheers

When we ran ours we ran a continuous duct to the nearest pole and left the ducting coming up out of the ground and taped to the pole. We also put a draw rope into the duct.

When eircom came out the pulled their cable through the duct and just cut off the duct above ground level where they wanted to.
