I've been told by Virgin:

Our standard depth for our cables is between 1 - 6 inches underneath the soil. Unfortunately we don't bury the cables any further in case we hit any utilities. This does mean that our cables are vulnerable to garden work damage however we try to advise our customers of this and for them to be mindful when performing garden work so that our cables are not damaged.
