BT pole marked Decayed stopping fibre installation

Go to solution

Hi,

My house is served by a pole marked D, the engineer says it means Decayed and is up for replacement. It has been like this since 2 years. Problem is Community Fibre is refusing to install the broadband on this.

 

Is there anyway this pole can be fixed/replaced by BT? 

 

thanks

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

Its Openreach not BT Retail that look after the external network.

You could ask them.

Hi @saupraka and welcome to our community.

@Keith_Beddoe advice is sound. Your best bet would be to contact Openreach via the link he's posted and they should be able to help.

Cheers

David

A D Pole doesn’t necessarily mean it has Decay.

It could be marked D for a variety of different reasons, Shallow Depth, Safe Climb Obstruction, etc.

Unless it is in Imminent Danger of Collapse and accessible via a Hoist and or Scaffolding then they’ll be in no hurry to replace it.
