HHHhhhmmmm, Fibre dangling and swaying in the breeze...

In the same manner as the aerial networks serving 10s of millions of premises in Japan, South Korea, the USA, etc?

The fibre doesn't run blind, it's attached to a more rigid backbone.

I suppose it's different to the last time I touched fibre, that was a dual fibre parallel cable when working for DEC, only had to go 100m under a false floor from the server room to a dedicated line printer room.. We eventually got it on the fourth attempt after three broken cables :D :D :D

Mind you that was back in 1988 ;)

Tad less brittle fibre now, and not two fibres, just a single fibre with TV, upstream and downstream on different lambda.

There's thousands of km of trunk fibre running aerially around the country, as long as it's secured to something rigid and stable it wont be an issue.

Indeed, the Americans have been using this delivery system for years and (over there) there's more than one cable company plying for trade - usually via the same route.

Si thee. :Sprint:

Thats what they should have done in the first place,cheaper and better than digging up roads and pavements.

Other possibilities:

Use of ducts used by other Utilities such as BT and EDF Energy
Sewers

As has already been said I'm sure they would have done if they had been allowed - but the planning regs wouldn't let them it seems

Plus Fiber that was strong enough has only recently become cheap enough

And those pictures demonstrate exactly why the planning restrictions for overhead cables are what they are in this country.

That is one hell of an unsightly mess.

Quoted for truth.
