Yep in Bristol. My house is also about 10 feet above the road level, up on some hardstanding, which the pipes must go through somewhere (no idea where - the first place it surfaces to my knowledge is all the way at the back of the house). So yeah - too expensive, too much hassle. Don't expect the water company are keen to upgrade any time soon either

I think you are in Bristol...? We are and have just had a similar quote to @dbr for replacing the incoming main from street to the house. Which would only be about a third of the work required, as it doesn't include anything internal, or making good/relaying garden path etc. So we're definitely going to continue shouting 'I'm in the shower, don't turn the tap on!'
