Telegraph poles being erected right outside house- light speed broadband

Has anybody had this happen to them and been successful in getting them down?! Woke up this morning to 2 telegraph poles being erected one at the back and one at the front I’m so upset- no comms, no notice or anything it looks horrible. The council have said they don’t need permission with it being telecoms but surely there’s something that can be done about this? Any success stories would be appreciated.

There would have to be a very compelling reason to have them moved (blocking access, obstructing view when pulling out of driveway, area of ONB etc). Just not wanting them there is unlikely to hold any sway. Utility companies have far-reaching powers to erect & maintain equipment.
They won't have been put there just to spite you, there will be a valid reason and while it may be possible to move them a little, removing them completely and providing an alternative solution is likely to be expensive (and why they were erected in the first place).

That link is for Openreach, they won't be able to help with Lightspeed's poles I'm afraid.
