I know this will need sorting but was wondering whether to contact BT or Openreach first.</P> Fri, 10 May 2024 20:44:03 GMT dennis61 2024-05-10T20:44:03Z https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Fibre-broadband/Slow-broadband-caused-by-touching-cable/m-p/2382808#M354732 <P>My broadband has been slow lately and I have noticed the overhead telephone cable seems to be touching the overhead electric cable, would this effect my broadband speed?
