    You'll have to find the drop wire. Techs will come out, fail to locate it and leave.

    It can be done .. yes .. but if it's to come in underground, the ducting is your responsibility.

    Changes in planning after 2006 (I believe) now mean, that you as the house owner own the ducting from the road to your premise. So you need to pay contractors to have that sorted.

    Providers will only deal with the stuff on public land.
