Can I get BT power line removed from outside my house as bird mess is ruining the paintwork on my car.

This has nothing to do with BT Retail and you need to contact openreach. I think highly unlikely openreach will move cable because of bird droppings. Just park in difference place

@Jude73

Welcome to this user forum for BT Retail phone and broadband customers.

Its Openreach that are responsible for the outside network, so you would need to ask them about it.

There is no connection to Openreach from this forum.

They are allowed to run "Flying Wires" where customers need to be served.

Hi @Jude73 You need to talk to your power company to see if they can help you. If you suspect that it is an Openreach communication cable, then nobody here can help you as this is BT Retail community. Nothing to do with Openreach.

Thank you for your comment. I assumed it was BT line but maybe it’s not theirs.

Thank you for that information. Seems I need to find who the cable belongs too.

Thanx for information. I would park in a different place if I thought it would resolve the problem. Trouble is the cable runs all along the road where I live so …
