Thinking ahead to as when and if we ever get FTTP; our existing copper phone line is overhead coming down the drive, then is buried in a 2.5"(?) plastic conduit for the final 60 metres in to the house. I paid for & installed the ducting etc ~30 years ago as I wanted to get rid of the unsightly overhead wires.
It is likely that trying to pull a new fibre "wire" through the same duct isn't going to work - too many bends etc etc - so I would need to re-dig a trench.
QUESTION: Can I do this in advance of Openreach arriving, and if so can I buy & pre-bury a suitable fibre wire? If so, what is the fibre called & where would I get it from?
TIA
