Re: Every Telephone Pole Resembled The Mess Associated With Wire Frames

On my road almost every house except mine is cabled overhead although the main distribution is underground and ducted.

But on estates built since, say the '60s like my daughter's the entire telecoms network is buried. Unless the houses have individual ducts into which the cables can be blown there's going to be a choice: dig up every drive and garden, dig a trench into the street at every house at least on one side of the street and reinstate it all properly or tkae the cheap and nasty option of installing a mess of overhead cables.

I wonder which it will be.
