I Wolvesmad, I think u are probably right, openreach might move that cabinet 8 away from it and put that at the end of the main road nearby my property house. Why not BT do this way and forget wayleave premisson. They shouldn't put fibre cable under the public footpath two months ago if the wayleave rejected it.

BT were putting cable into ducting already under the ground. They weren't doing any street works hence required no wayleave.

In reply to a post by wolvesmad:

They blast the fibre down the ducting in preperation for the cab to go in. If they have collapsed ducts etc, this would halt the cabinet install so they put the cable in first.

They don't need planning permission for that either.

Umm, that's not true for all areas. We've got cabs in several places way before any fibre has been installed.

One of our cabinets that's been installed since May 2012 has finally gone live!

It's one cabinet in around 120 or so around here, and it's the only one that's been installed and delayed for a substantial length of time.

We do have two other cabinets which we're planned but still not installed, one was located on a building site, which was finished a long time ago now. The other is some way out of town, but no idea why it hasn't been done yet. There was some major roadworks nearby so perhaps that's affected it.

Surprise Openreach still working in my area cabinet 8 footpath. There is nothing on roadwork.org. I was surprise openreach working yesterday and today?
