    Y'all joke and jest, but we do also run a lot of corporate fibre cables stapled to the soffit of many brick sewers, especially in London where excavation approvals aren't even worth dreaming about. It was plenty easy to convert that for domestic properties, although the asset ownership gets somewhat complicated once you hit the property curtilage.
