I had a great neighbour who ran the application for us. He came round knocking on doors and I was one of the very first to commit my cash. I agreed that, if it came to it, I'd split the cost 50:50 with him. Luckily we ended up with 10 or so commits and split it between all of us.

Which left 30 or so miserable fkers who refused to join in but were full beneficiaries of what he managed to pull off. Utter tossers.

Similarly, the reason I had to fight Gigaclear to run in the ducting was that my neighbours at 10, 11 and 12 refused to sign the wayleave because they didn’t want the tarmac outside their houses damaged (I’m at 9 but Gigaclear wouldn’t do anything at all in the street without all the wayleaves).

It’s now ducted up to my boundary but no further and the neighbours are talking about how they can get Gigaclear to hook them up now they find that 40mb or so is quite limiting in the modern world. Given the trouble I had, I suspect their only hope is Bob and he’s dead.

I'm sure you will be suitably supportive of their efforts

He can tell them where to stick their requests.

I had same thing when one of my neighbors decided to finally do something about the mess the council had left the central bit of our 11 house cul de sac. £3k later it looks amazing. The usual 6 households chipped in, the miserable 5 refused. Utter fkers. fk em.
