BT Have Routed a Cable Across My Bedroom Window

Leave the wire so just incase you get into any shananigans were thieves come to your house you have a perfect escape route with some biciycle handlebars a la Home Alone 1
 
OMFG, I have almost the exact same issue as the OP! Does anyone have any advice on what to do? I've taken a photo so that the likes of Telescopi can see that it is not a trivial issue!

I imagine that just about everyone in this thread has had or will have an issue with something that everyone else finds trivial.

OP, get over it.
 
Tie a pair of old trainers together by their laces and throw them so they hang off the wire

I've no idea why you should do this but i remember seeing it a few times when I was a kid :confused:

Already done it.:D

But seriously, thanks for all the help guy's you've been great.

Gonna lodge a complaint with Openreach when I get home tonight and ask them to reinstate the line that my neighbour originally had joined onto the rear of his house. The pole that his line was attached to was taken down by a contractor doing work on houses further up the street so in my opinion they should be liable for the costs.

Well I guess it adds to the niceness of the area.

If you're very lucky you'll be able to get a reasonable/good reception from an aerial in the loft.
If you're in a low lying area (like a lot of nice places), have a weak signal (like a lot of nice places), or have anything else in between you and the transmitter you may be lucky to get decent reception with a roof mounted one.

Placing it inside the loft means you lose a reasonable amount of the signal strength as the loft materials will block some of that signal, and that's before you take into account the fact you're now placing it several metres lower (thus more likely to lose LOS/have something between it and the transmitter).
 
Thin telegraph wires and television ariels? Wow some people need to chill.

We have a green at the bottom of our garden (just beyond the brook! :D :p ) and the council have gone and put a light at the end of the car park on the other side of the green. This spoils somewhat my view of the night sky. Am I bothered? No. Could I do anything about it? No.

Life goes on. If you don't get wound up by little things you§ll live longer...
 
Id be a bit ****ed too if they did that, its not like it costs much money to route it underground to the neighbours hour, I dont think thats too much to ask.

Could be worse though, you could be looking at a corigated iron gym building, some random awful other buildings, more mingin iron clad hangers and then some largeee satellite dishes on the horizon. atleast theres some wind turbines.
 
pretty rude they didn't even let you know before doing it. I'd find a way to make that disappear pretty sharpish just to hack them off.

May I suggest a secret ninja night ops mission in full military regalia. You'll probably need some grappling hooks and ninja stars. Defiantly night vision goggles.


Or just a pair of shears. The long kind.
 
I don't think they need permission to hany a wire across a property (I suspect they've got a blanket permission from the days when they all were), only if it physically touches his property.

Unlike the likes of Cable/water/gas/electric etc where they actually need to disturb the property to put the cables into place.
