Is there still a restriction on the amount of fibre cable that can come into the house. I'm hoping to get in under the stairs off the hallway where I have the router and network center there?

I have a pole. The existing phone line is through 13mm conduit from the foot of the pole with some bends in it, so I doubt that is usable. What radii can the cable be bent?
Would the installers leave a roll on the poll and be prepared to come back and finish the installation after the cable mysteriously found it's way to the chimney , through the attic and out the wall where the existing phone socket and router are located in the middle of the house?

I live in an isolated part of the country by the coast on a cul de sac road with 10 houses, the majority being holiday homes. I just couldn't see how it would ever make financial sense for any supplier to bring fibre broadband to my locality and yet here we are. At the moment the modem is temporarily left in the attic until I decide whether to permanently leave it there or relocate downstairs. If I do decide to leave it there then I will add a mains smoke alarm up there along with an additional power point to run a TP Link power-line system from. (At the moment there is the EIR Hardware box plugged direct into a socket and the Eir Modem and a TPLink plugged into a double adapter - temp measure until my electrician gets here) I've been a thread lurker for a long time so many thanks for all the information along the way and the best of luck to those of you waiting for connection. D. Set up in the attic Final Speed Test taken downstairs in the hallway....:P External Shots of Installation Its kind of hard to make out but the fitter brought the fibre approx halfway down the pole before bringing it across to the house. I plan on running some form of steel cable maybe??? to reinforce or provide some additional protection to it as I feel that it is sort of exposed. Where the fibre enters the house through an air vent.

Their website says 'No hidden charges, Unlimited Broadband'. The assistant on the other end of the phone when asked bluntly "do they enforce a FUP of any sort like the other ISP's?" said 'No we most certainly do not. We understand that if you are receiving speeds of 1000Mb/s then you could theoretically reach your cap in under a day of use. We provide fully unlimited service.' That being said from what i can see on the openeir site, they're not yet listed as a FTTH reseller. Has anyone heard any stories regarding this ISP?http://imageshack.com/a/img923/5769/MCtPCK.jpg

Allison Puny Appetite wrote: » Most of that 20/16 is being pulled through larger preexisting duct whether concrete or plastic. I've seen them do new ducting under trees. What they did was dig a trench and use lengths of the radius HDPE twin wall duct. Then they pulled the 20/16 through the twin wall. The KN guy said the 20/16 is pre roped so the fibre can then be pulled through.
Allison Puny Appetite wrote: » I think the danger of using too small a diameter duct is it getting crushed by vehicular traffic.
