Ah but people have to pay for it Ray and that's usually what puts their nose out of joint. Even if their existing connection is from the pole, they expect fibre to be all underground and totally free of any cost to them.

 

Several installs around devonport the fibre installers have run overhead when the property had underground copper lines as well as underground power -- which I thought was against their own "rules" - meant to be like for like isn't it? If it's overhead, it's overhead fibre unless you get an overhead to underground conversion beforehand, and if you've got underground services already, then your fibre should be underground... They seem to make things up as they go along, including where the connection point originates (my existing copper line comes in from the back of my place, but they've put a fibre tail at the front of my property. I get annoyed when they just make things up but then claim there's rules if someone tries to get something alternative done. All very one way.
