Hi,
Been trying to get an answer on this from various sources but to not much avail. Was hoping someone here had some insight...
I live in a house that was extended and remodelled before I bought it. It is cabled internally with coax for Virgin Media in a number of rooms, which is great, but not really the issue. I'd like to try out FTTP from BT, which is available in the area but I don't have a physical BT line to the house. When they extended, they did all the cabling for VM and removed the line that was there. There is a telegraph pole not all that far away, but since I moved in, there has been a house built beside mine (in between me and the telegraph pole), which means that running a new line from this pole would be inconvenient for them - it would be quite low over their front garden/driveway.
I suspect moving the pole wouldn't be all that straightforward either. What are the options in this situation? Is it a new pole somewhere or nothing? Obviously there is trunking/piping somewhere under my driveway for the VM connection, is this likely to be usable by Openreach?
Thanks for any help/advice, it's a bit of an odd one and I can't get anyone to talk to me without placing an order.
