Just wondering, if anyone has expert knowledge..... when BT/OR enhance an existing underground line with FTTP, are they generally able to use the existing underground cable ducts? Or might they also have to get the shovels out, and start digging?
This is of interest to me as I have several hundred feet of underground BT cables through my property. These cables serve not only my own premises, they progress onwards to three or four other properties, there’s a couple of underground boxes to join things up. There is a wayleave in place that probably entitles them to dig it all up if they need to.
My lawn is no bowling green, far from it, it’s little more than a mossy field, but it would be hassle if they had to dig it up. The cables also pass under a decent looking tarmac driveway, it’s be a shame if the tarmac was left with ‘roadworks scars’.
