Openreach are in our village, I can see lots of markings on road in white paint, and was wondering what it all means.
Lots of poles with blue rope/draw string nicely tied around pole, ready to pull the fibre.
'ND' is painted on some poles, and on road, I assume this means 'No Duct' ?
Stars painted on pavements, and from the video that CarIT posted this is a blockage in the duct. There seems to be a crew with some duct clearing equipment, inducing water jets, clearing these.
I also see 'GS' next to some inspection chambers, on pavement, any ides what this means?
I'm sure every project is slightly different, but is there a 'rule of thumb' if there is no duct to a pole, do openreach only install a duct if the pole is serving 'X' number of subscribers? Or do they wait for orders before deciding whether to install duct etc?
TIA!
