Contractors cut through broadband cable!

Hi,

I currently have virgin media L package. My driveway is being re-cemented and
the contractors have gone straight through the virgin wires that were underneath
my path near to the front door. The earliest an engineer can come out is monday
afternoon. Does anyone have any ideas as to how they will fix this? Can they re join
the wire or is it a case of rerouting new cable and what would that entail? Thanks

The engineer that'll come out Monday will attempt a splice of the wire to reconnect the services. Whether it'll need further work depends on the damage

They will repair it if possible with a gel pack and probably book a repull which takes a few weeks to be done.
