Hyperoptic Installation Process?

[MumboJumbo]

Hi guys,

I'm in the process of buying a flat (paperwork going through) and all the flats recently had hyperoptic installed "to the door". The flat is quite large and I want the router to be all the way on the other side where my PC will be. I've only ever lived in houses before, so getting the cable to where I wanted has been as easy as drilling through the outside wall. Not really an option 7 stories up though!

How do they rout the cables through your flat to where you want it and would it leave any sort of damage etc? The flat has only just been fully touched up to look brand new again, so I really want to avoid making a mess of it! I guess they could have an external cable pinned to the walls, but would that just look unsightly running through the whole flat?

Thanks

The outlet is in the ceiling above the entrance into my flat. It seems they may have to run the cable around the skirting boards, which I'm not chuffed about really since it will result in the cable stretching my whole flat and multiple holes being drilled into the freshly painted walls.

Perhaps I will just opt to have the router by my front door. I'm planning on getting the nighthawk, so it shouldn't have range issues. It's a shame to be using WIFI though.

Thanks.
