writing) to install, maintain, adjust, repair or
alter BT plant under or over the development

i find the above very interesting

alter BT plant under or over the development

Electronic Communications Code.

does this mean if i have overhead wires crossing my property and theres no wayleave in place i can charge bt for the privilege of allowing my neighbours to use their telephones?

Help needed.
BT have just run an ugly phone overhead wire from a telegraph pole to the bungalow next door. It crosses quite close to my house and could make putting a ladder against the front of my house very difficult. Do they need any permission to do this? The wire was not there before. I protested and have written a letter asking for it to be removed.

It sounds like they have us all over a barrel on this. I have received a quote today for £670 to remove a BT line which is attached to my soffits (which I was having replaced next week... not now!), which serves next door and doesnt have a wayleave. All I have been told is to write back and complain. :-(
