>> Our area was upgraded to FTTP about a year ago using the existing telephone ducts.
>> The spec is '68mm gutter downpipe buried about a spade deep'.
Exactly the same here. The fibre optic 'main' was run through the duct installed at build 25 years ago. When houses are connected they pull the stuff through to where the BT line currently enters the premises and connect up.
In the older parts of the village, including the main seventies build housing estate, the pavements/verges were dug and new ducting laid.
