My original BT line, so original it would have been fitted by the GPO, sags. I reported it to TalkTalk years ago who said "that is for Openreach to sort". Openreach said "that is for TalkTalk to sort"


So I went up a ladder and half sorted the problem. I returned to BT and had a separate fibre optic line installed. I now see the original line is sagging on the new fibre optic line. Worried that the next storm will do damage.


Pre Covid-19 I'd talk direct to BT but the last call had a recorded message and told me to go on line. On line did not give me the opportunity to explain, tested my new line and had a caveat that I may be charged.


Before I report it to Openreach anybody had similar experience? Ideally just take away the old line. I can't imagine a time when we or future occupants would resort to copper rather than fibre

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
