Re: Possible telephone line problem in windy weather ?

oops bit late. no harm ringing bt direct as you are pretending to be a passer by plus you know it will get dealt with properly. I would always recommend that any safety issue be reported direct to bt.

From the 2010/2011 BT Phone Book --

Reporting damage to telephone poles, wires, box covers or road side cabinets

Freefone 0800 023 2023

24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
That would be the number I would use to report (what looks like) an abnormally low drop-wire.

It has just come back to me.

The piece of 4mm steel wire with twists - dropwire calmp 10A, that is connected to the eye on the fascia and the drop wire wrapped round has a rather appropriate nick name! Curly Whirly or Curly Wurly
