FTTP Cable routing from pole
Hi all,
Our neighbour was getting his fibre cable installed today and it runs right in front, slap bang in the middle of our upstairs windows then over the corner of our roof and solar panels.
This comes from a pole at the end of our street and where my cable comes from as well. This is a new cable, his old / existing cable comes from a pole at the rear of his garden but doesn't have fttp on it.
Does the routing of this new cable fall within the Power to fly lines communication act?
We stay at the top of a hill and next doors house is about 5ft lower than ours. The picture with the red dots. Dot 1 is right in the middle of our bedroom window, the cable is the first thing your eyes go to now when you look out and is about 2.4m from the window straight out and 90cm from the house at this point. I can put a measuring tape on it from the window. At the point the cable leaves our roof (red dot 2) it is only around 10-15cm above our roof.
We spoke to the installers (Circet) and the just said as long as its over 1m from your window then it's fine, he called his boss to clarify. We even offered a solution of running the neighbours cable along with ours on our other gable end then run the neighbours cable under our soffit to the opposite end and then run the cable over. The reply was "That'll take 40mins, we don't get paid for that time and have two other jobs to go to". They said their boss will pop by tomorrow to check it.
Any advise or are we just being petty??
