Hi we are a business in Nottingham, and the telegraph pole outside our offices, from which we have three fibre lines, is being replaced. I am sure this is necessary probably due to end-of-life of the pole. However, the cost and inconvenience of it being done during the week in office hours is unfathomable. We have been given a very short notice period for this work and the task of changing our infrastructure is immense and also requires more time than that has been allowed. Is there an alternative method of keeping existing connections going , even if only temporarily, during the pole replacement work? I estimate we have around 40 businesses trading over these three lines. These businesses would collectively turnover around £200m pa, so even an afternoon would be very costly. Any suggestions on how we can get this work done over a weekend? Or how to get a temporary solution? Would be gratefully received. We also have many underground lease lines, but as I have mentioned, switching to these is not a quick task due to a zillion IP addresses and many security hoops. T
