Having Fibre installed next week. The current overhead comes to bungalow via two poles and through trees.(large sycamore and ash) There were 3 poles, but down to 2 after cable snapping in a storm and slight rerouting but still through trees. Every time it's windy you can see the wire being put into extra tension and often lose service. Trees have a TPO (tree preservation order) on them so can't be touched without Planning.
I realise this is a BT forum but can anyone assist.
May seem a silly question but how stretchy is the new fibre cable and are Open Reach likely to just use the same route or can I insist/request they find a route without going through the trees to avoid loss of service?
The existing internal route is - cable enters on gable wall just under soffit, through loft and comes down in hall. Will this stay the same?
Another question can I still use my existing landline cordless phones or do I have to buy new?
Thanks for your help.
