National Broadband Ireland looking to put poles in land

Had them here. Their going in the hedge rows. If you don't make like hard for them he said they will work with you and put them where they aren't in the way. If people are akward he said they will just put them where ever is handiest for themselves.

Why can't they go down the side of the roads where they are going. NBI are having issues in some places as depending on speed of road and near bends the poles need to be set back a particular distance from side of road. They have to get agreenent from councils on pole locations and this is proving difficult. So by going on private land they avoid the council issues. Maybe this connection is for yourself so they can put the pressure on for going through your land. In my mind NBI don't have the same rights as ESB putting in poles on private land. See NBI 's FAQ section on web. It mentions poles.

tell them put it in a duct poles and stays are for third world infrastructure look at wind farms at the start there were overhead there now all ducted and remember this is private infrastructure not public imagine you were trying to put some on one of there assets.

how. A line across his field that he'll have to be aware of, drive around poles with machinery. Animals using them as scratching posts and puddling up the land around them.

its public money in a private company its not like the private public partnership in education system where most of the schools become department assets in 25years after opening. Ducting would not be stopping homes and farms getting broadband all housing estates have the telecom under the footpaths

Ya I didn't comment on that was commenting on the sentiment that he gets nothing out of it.

I have my own hedgecutter, I think I'll manage to go around one pole. Its not the end of the world.

I was young and dumb and loyal to the country. Wind turbines went up a mile from me and a few people objected and got money. I said I supported them as they would supply energy for the future.

The energy crowds made a packet the last four years and have robbed this country blind. The most expensive electricity in Europe.

Don't let them put any fuuucking pole in your field because once they are out the gap they won't give a shitte about you. Put them up on the ditch

That's nonsense and you've a fault report it

They follow the existing phone lines both above and below ground, why would they need to go a different route?

I don't know what the story is with compensation but I have worked for a contractor working on behalf of NBI before. As far as I'm aware, it's completely up to you where the poles will be positioned if you agree to them being erected. Whether that be through the middle of the field, around the boundary etc. Or as already mentioned, if you don't want poles, you can agree to duct being laid with access chambers every 100m or so instead. If you don't allow them access at all, which you are well entitled to, an engineer in an office will be getting paid to think of an alternative solution to get from point A to point B, bypassing your land.

How many properties will the poles be serving? Can you see an alternative route yourself? Is there a public road or private lane way that they can be erected along instead?

Well done.Fibre broadband can be a gamechanger in rural areas and i agree with your sentiments totally.

Overstated

I let them put 6 poles along a hedge, broadband was for the neighbours, no point been awkward, I'll make use of the poles for strip grazing 😉
