Has anyone had any joy getting Openreach to remove a disused copper telephone cable?
I have no need for it and it's going to get in the way when we do work on the front of our house so it will need moving at some point anyway.
After lying to their extremely frustrating automated telephone triage service, which basically said contact your ISP (I don't have one for that line, it's disused!) I managed to speak to a real person who said I have to email them a photo and some info including why I want it moved. I suspect this may result in getting charged.
However, if it was to suddenly blow down in a freak storm I could call them to report damaged infrastructure, then explain it was disused and that they don't need to bother reinstalling it when they come to fix it...
