What if you just replaced the end of the ducting with grey...
Have left my Dad a message saying to be mindful of them asking the question of colour (thanks very much guys!) and the need for us to come up with some form of conspiracy grade cover up job may be needed! In truth, for the sake of a couple hours and £100-200 odd probably just dig it up again if we had to. For the sake of not wanting to upset BT & go without internet whilst the point is debated...Just to update this thread:
After much fking around by BT/Openreach, (3 months, 2 engineers visits and surveyor visit) we went straight to the CEO's office. That same day we got a call from their executive support team who instantly kicked thins into gear.
No negotiations were needed, as we said what we wanted - supply us the cable, we will lay it, your engineer connects to the junction box and to our master socket and we call it quits, and they agreed to it.
Week later 100m of armoured cable arrived, which we routed into their manhole (via exiting duct under the lane) and routed into our 'electronics cupboard' and the next day an engineer arrived and connected it all up; broadband up & running.
Openreach blamed BT, BT blamed Openreach but within a week of contacting BT's CEO's office everything happened in quick fashion.
Broadband up and running at a mind blowingly blistering....5Mb!
