Moving cables

    Over the last few years I've moved my parents phone suppliers for the best deal. But because of this there has been a lot of extra cables and boxes added so its a complete and utter mess.

    At the moment the provider is Vodafone via SIRO but previously it was Virgin (fibre) and there is a really old Telecom Éireann box which is probably as old as the house (early 70s) with another random box that was used Esat BT (not sure what this is as it plugged into the TÉ junction box when it was in use).

    So I'd like to clean up this mess along with the cables from Virgin and SIRO as they enter the house from a different room and follow the skirting board and then a hole was drilled for them to enter the hallway so I want to put them under the suspended wooden floor.

    Because there is a few different companies and tech involved who can I get to move all of this?

    SIRO fibre + Virgin CoAx (its not fibre!) are the the two you care about. Bin the rest.

    Fibre is a little sensitive, don't kink it. You probably won't find a handyman/general tradesman that actually knows what he's doing with comms. The lads who do have better things to be getting on with.

    You could call Vodafone and see what options you might have - its gonna cost yea.
    Other option, contact someone who sells fiber splicing gear in Ireland like Technico.ie who might know of a fiber splicing person in your area who might be interested in a nixer. Again, it won't be cheap and they might ask you to do the conduit/cable running.
