Hi - I wonder if you can help me please?

I'm getting FTTP installed, with EE - we've only had 38mb connection, but now we're able to get 1.6g, so am looking forward to faster speed! But, I'm not sure how and where we should get all the bits installed - we have no space in the porch area (and no plug sockets), hallway is narrow, so no good. Original BT master socket is in a awkward place already!

But I have got a Network cabinet in the garage (and CAT6 cables running to wall plates in the house - all still to be connected yet) so I'm hoping that I can get the inside FTTP box installed in there? (See images) I have a wall space of about 13cm x 15/18cm.

But (yes another) the current BT cable comes to the house on the other side of the porch - so I'm not sure how to (or even if) the Openreach engineer will install the outside grey boxes here (original location) and then be able to run the cable into the garage and cabinet for me... I can do the prep (i.e trunking, hole in wall etc..) but I wanted to get some advice on here and some ideas on how we could take the cable from left side of porch to the garage (to the right).. we want hidden cable, but not sure if we can? Can we put is underground and then take around? Or would we have to to up and over? Happy for any advice please, thanks..
