BT street furniture - what is reasonable/legal

[Ilovejapcrap]

What’s the car comming up road.

First guess an old Clio, or a pug ?

[Battlewagon]

It looks like a Focus

Cant complain if you enjoy your Mobile phone working - All those times people complain of dropped calls, lost signal and slow connectivity means to keep up with demand they have to put in more sites!

Well the little old lady with the tartan shoping trolley in the distance had to wait for a time while a gaggle of dog walkers went past. Surely it's not unreasonable that pedestrians can pass either way on a pavement without being made to wait or walk in the gutter?

Agreed the overgrowth is as big an impediment but what are the owners of that going to point to when challenged?

And yes it may be trivial to you because you're not a little old lady with a tartan shopping trolley, but if we eliminated threads on Pistonheads because the subject matter was trivial to the majority of us it would be pretty fking barren around here!

Why do you care?

Op is the little old lady!

It's looks the same as the ones they've splattered around our village.

It does occur to me that it's a good job all utility suppliers don't do this or they'd be a real blot.

In that it’s green ? Bt ones similar to that are the fibre dslams and will be adjacent an existing cabinet .

I'm confused now - it's the same as the one in the picture, it's a cabinet and it's owned by BT.

The one nearest me is across the road from the PCP telephone cabinet on a grass verge in front of a house. The PCP cabinets here are all tucked away but the fibre cabinets are much more in the open. I'd be dismayed if they'd slapped it in front of my house.

Nothing wrong with the cabinet its the fixings and base that let it down.
I found that BT Infrastructure, ducting, cable pits etc was always installed to a good standard.
VM are nowhere near that.
