    Hi, installer told me they can only run 1 metre of fiber into the house via drilling. I've a comms box 4m away with spare conduit to run the cable. Is 1m a hard rule?
    Thanks

    I'm afraid we can only run 1 metre into a house. 

    I'm sorry it's not better news. 

    Thanks

    You can use cat5 cat6 cable from the connection to modem.
    1m is a hard rule it's to do with regulations. In the event of a house fire it's deemed that more than 1m of black insulation will contribute to toxic smoke inhalation 
    It's for reasons of fire code and insurance.
