A colleague, who lives in a village in the East Midlands, informed me that
a significant number of houses lost their broadband (and of course phone)
connection because the copper thieves have migrated from the railways to
the phone network. Open Reach are in the village jointing in a new 150 pair
underground cable. Technicians involved reported this is an increasingly
common problem and they can’t wait for an all fibre replacement.
