Cheers!

ok so there were notices up on the lamp post next to where the new pole is, and as they put up new poles they are taking down the notices, they have been back today and put a load more poles up down the street, the one notice did say fttp install, so its just a waiting game now as to how long it takes to install the actual fibre.

So obviously as expected it’s an Openreach pole (BT Group still own the physical network), 9 is the height, M means it’s a medium girth, 20 is the year, and 2I is the supplier of the pole.

More importantly where is the "Datum Line" or "Doby" mark a horizontal line occasionally with a Caret mark below? It should be 3m from the based of the pole and is confirmation that it is correctly installed.

A few years back, one contractor, no longer working for BT or OR, was cutting a large section off the bottom before installing them too shallow and got found out.

Not quite, 2I would mean supplier 2 and Imported timber I

Ok, but I was close enough! I’ve never actually seen anything other than I after the number anyway.

hi all, ok so i woke up this morning and a new telegraph pole has been put up outside my house ….

Sounds hopeful.

And certainly better than finding it put up inside your house.

didn't Les Dawson tell that joke back in 1983 ??

I wouldn't know. I decided long before then that he wasn't much use as a stand-up comedian.

I never did have any delusions about my potential in that respect, but I can claim to being able to make reasonably good one-off situational jokes in real life. As well as the occasional howler.

Take your pick of where this particular one fits .

so generally how long would it take from poles going up to fibre being put in, are there timescales or is it a guessing game.
