...by briefly applying the output of a neon sign transformer to said wires.

Andy,

Disd you not notice: "..he identified BT's wires clipped to his outside wall but feeding into adjoining properties not his own"?

The wires aren't *his* to cut and get rid of, but his neighbors!

Dear Lord,

You may unfix the wires, move them up/aside, and fix them to your new wall. Or just embed them in the walls of your new building. And when BT comes to fix something you'd require hefty ransom just for letting technicians touch your wall.

Simply Stop using BT, cut the wire, and get Virgin Installed.

Its so easy to just stop using BT, they are a bunch of useless dicklickers with second rate Broadband anyway - where is the loss.???

"Under the Telecommunications Act, 1984 and as amended by Schedule 3 to the Communications Act 2003".

So this act was passed in 1984, that's 24 years ago, and they signed a contract with the owner 4 years later which stated with 3 months notice it could be taken down..

They then refuse to do this based on the fact that this law/act whatever was passed before they signed the agreement.

So they either knowingly duped the previous owner, in which case they would I imagine, find themselves up s*** creek without a paddle. Or they just never knew anything about it (which somehow I doubt) in the first place.

Either way surely they have to honor the contract they signed in the first place, especially if they never informed the owner as of 2003 that these amendments would make the contract null and void.
