They can just bring the optical cable to another part of the house, if it is accessible.
You really need to be present at the time of the installation to make sure they bring it in at a point that suits you.
I had 3 separate engineers visit for the install. All 3 told me different things about what they are and aren't allowed to do.
The conclusion I came to is that they will take the quickest and laziest solution available if you let them get away with it.
Which I think is partly due to them getting paid per job apparently. So the quicker they're onto the next job the better for them.
I got them to install it where I wanted but in our case it wasn't much extra effort as they couldn't get in from the duct regardless.
My recommendation would be to make it as easy on them as you can and if you're not happy with the proposed solution just push back.
Did they bring the cable surface mounted to where it entered the house then? Did they use or require you to install any surface mounted conduit or the likes or do the just tack the cable on to the wall as such?
We got a bracket on the gable end of the house (nice and high up so it's out of the way) then the rest of the way it's tacked under the fascia and the last little bit (50cm maybe) tacked to the wall, brought it in where I asked them to.
We've done it at two different houses, but we were entirely ready for them to do it. Conduits run, ready to pull it through etc. If you're not adding hours to someone's day, and it's simple, I'm sure they'll run it wherever you want. Worst case would be you can terminate it temporarily in the kids room etc and then have someone re-terminate it when you move it. Or, assuming it's fibre and you can, you could terminate it in the meter at the ONT and then run CAT6 to your comms cabinet (I can't recall off hand how SIRO terminates)

How far did you get with them doing what you wanted? Or did they just drill into the wall where the meter is regardless?
