One other quick question that occurred to me - if I'm moving telephone services over to them too do they install a new socket for that as well or is it via LLU at exchange? If it's a new socket then presumably this would involve them running a cable from the entry box insider the house to the existing master socket?

Thanks.
VM dont use LLU as the system used is totally different than BT ect.They will run a new telco wire to the main phone socket & fit a CTE-5 Master socket.
As for running the Coax under the flooring,the installer may not be able to for H&S reasons.Also,I would'nt recommend using normal coax as the signal loss may be too high.(once had a chap who paid a spark £XX to run the cable under the floor,then laid a wooden floor thruout the house & was peed off when his NTL TV did'nt work in the back room!)*Before we had those boosters.
