FTTP install this week - unsure what to expect

Just remember recommended maximum cable run is 90m for cat5/6/6a
If you need longer runs or to connect different buildings you should use fiber. You can buy ready-made patch cords or any length and all you need at each end is a couple of switches with SFP or SFP+ interfaces. Certainly if you go outdoors you should consider fibre as it will be subject to electromagnetic interference nor be at risk or electro shocks from lighting strikes.

Thanks for the reply, appreciated!

So, I found where the wire comes in to the garage (yellow dot), then disappears up into the house (red dot). This is at the front of the house, so don't think they're going to be able to easily follow this same route up to where the current socket is :(

Where is the red dot in relation to your phone socket, and where is the yellow dot in relation to the position you marked on the outside of your house next to the meter cupboards?

Where does the black cable that pops out the top of the conduit and goes to the right end up?
 
Netgear GS110TP is a compact, fanless manageable switch with two SFP interfaces and 8 PoE copper interfaces (so you could power separate wireless APs like Unifi U6+). 1G only, but I wouldn't bother spending money on 10G hardware until you need it.
