I'm guessing it would be a new run and would probably have to be just slightly under the surface of the field, they will probably resow the grass over it when finished. There are probably more examples of areas like this in other parts of the blue line rural rollout. This method will definitely come into play more when doing some of the one off's in the NBP.

The van was parked at the cabinet at the top of the Lodge Road with a reel of orange cable, and there was a group of lads working at a manhole about 150 metres up the road. I take it this means they're probably running the fibre out that direction? I was also on to Eir yesterday and the customer service rep said I should hopefully get fibre by February. Here's hoping!
Gonzo wrote: » the rollout did appear to be going very slowly and falling massively behind schedule up to November, however it does appear that they have finally got the ball rolling much quicker this month. Every time I take a journey I see a KN van somewhere. On Saturday afternoon I saw them working away near Trim. Today on the way to Navan I saw them working at the Tara exchange area pulling yellow cable and saw them again on my way into Navan, working in horrible conditions. I think we might be pleasantly surprised around February and March when many more exchanges currently being worked on will become live and number of premises passed will increase steadily.
