What is this on my house?

[Bridechilla]

Sky, electricity or something else completely? It has a massive thick cable coming to it direct from the nearest pylon.

Previous owners riddled the place with ugly wires, the back of our house is like an electrical substation.

Electricity?!

I have just asked my oh, whose an electrician, and he reckons it's a telecoms connection box.

Connected to a pylon or a telegraph pole? How thick is the thickest cable? Also, is that the old BT 'T' on the plastic casing?

Telephone wires.

I suspect that what you think is a pylon is actually s telegraph pole.

Is the pole made of wood or metal?

Thanks all! Yes I meant telegraph pole, couldn't think of the word and typing on the go

There is a T on the box I can't see it that well but you might be right that it's the old 'T' of the BT logo.

I am certain that it is a telecommunications box then, I always wonder if it makes any difference to broadband when the wires are like yours as opposed to underground,

We have fibre Persian so I don't even think those cables are related to our broadband, are they?

Probably not but they are probably the old telephone cables from before then.

Whatever you do, I wouldn't go messing about with them even though they are ugly.
