Oh boy....Forget all that, sue for criminal damage. Ask a solicitor, not the idiot who said you'd be liable if you damaged the cable, about suing the neighbours too.

Sue, Sue, Sue!!!
You are aware before taking legal action you have a legal responsibility to try alternative means first. If you goto court without taking alternative steps first your case would bee dismissed (meaning you loose).
The op IS going about this the right way dealing with claims department. If and ONLY if he gets no joy after a reasonable amount of time Then he has to give final notice to BT (and the neighbor as BT were working as agents for the neighbor) that they must satify the case within 28 days (maby 14 i cant quite remember), THEN and ONLY then can he contact the small claims court to issue a summons, following that BT will have 28 days to respond (they may ask for a posponment). Finally then can he goto court.
Sueing someone isnt the first step in getting issues resolved (it dose quite annoy me when people think it is) it is in fact LEGALLY the LAST step.
