Blue rope on poles.


[link to this post]
 
Came home the other day and noticed the telegraph pole outside my house has a blue rope at the foot of it, added recently. Also the telecoms guy was in the underground box near the pole apparently. Befibre have been installing fibre in the area these last few months. An online search didn't come up with much, but was a mention that it is to aid in the pulling of the fibre cables through the underground ducting.
Could this be true?

TIA, Dave.

The blue rope might be for copper also ?

It is however, usually put in to drawer a cable of some description between point A and point B

Why would they be pulling copper these days? I suppose if there is a broken copper cable, they may.

Have you tried searching your postcode on bidb.uk?

I though they were for stringing up the non-BT cowboys that open footway chambers and messup what is already there.
