Telecom wired up a bunch of new flats with phone service the other day... They ran cable in off the street along a fence in a nice bit of 25mm tube.
Telstra came and told my neighbour that they would have to dig up her garden, smash her foot path and then reconcret if I wanted to have Telstra cable in my unit (second back from the road). She said NO. A bit of 25mm tube would be unnoticeable and would mean she wouldn't damage it but that's not good enough for Telstra... On the other hand, a 400mm trench would be good enough, but what happens next year when she decides to dig over the garden to put some new plants in...? errr... Fixed my problem thou... Joined up with Woosh and now I don't have any need for wires, phone service is cheaper and I can use it anywhere in the house without having to have a wifi ap if I don't want.
