Don't forget that there are VM staff that are on this forum and will know that there are suggestions that a spade may cut through the cable, accidently of coarse.

and they are also aware that the cable should not be there. I personally do not think there would be any criminal damages charges bought as the cable was laid by trespass so any complaint by VM is countered by another criminal complaint. Personally as soon as the neighbour gave attitude about it that would have been it slice slice not playing nice

Well if VM staff are on this forum, please get off your arse and remove your cable from my front garden please .... and a shovel could go through it quite easily as my lawyer said that it should have been put in the ground a shovel depth not and never shallow depth... A could have laid it better

I was told it should be a shovel depth think about it, it does make sense if you think about it, as when you dig the garden if it is not laid to a certain depth and buried only in shallow ground it will get cut, whereas if buried correctly little chance of this happening anyway I'm getting off my problem here as it should not be on my land...but I have also heard that VM are really bad at laying cables as they do seem to tend to lay them incorrectly/lazily... quite when you think about it....

Correct. But it's frequently not the case in real life.

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
most of the cable tv network in my area is only a couple of inches below the footway, if youre lucky. !! once it hits the customers boundary, anything goes. unfortunately this is now the industry bench mark, shoddy, cheap and not so cheerful.

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
If techs use a shovel to dig a line in the grass, how exactly are they supposed to get it deeper than a shovels depth? Ive never burried a cable but I have pulled them up to gel pack a split then reburried it in the same trench.

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
It was on loose soil...neighbour has grass surrounded by Leylandii hedge so they seem have took the easy option my garden with the loose soil... NOT RIGHT MY GARDEN...IF my neighbour wanted VM it should have been laid in their land not my garden....After all if there choice was Sky would they have put it on my wall NO!!! so what gives them the friggen right to lay it in my garden one word NONE...

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
True, Im just thinking how they are supposed to dig lower than a spades depth, there are tree roots, plants etc, to double dig would mean there would be a huge trench in the ground to refill.

Re: Garden Dug Up and Cable installed on my property without knowledge
One thing I have noticed is that th OP is in Scotland, and the law there could be very different.
As my sister found out when my brother in law faced moving there, my sister's legal qualifications weren't valid there.
