Yep

Yes, BT vans arrived around 10.30am on Sunday, and have been there all
week.

The two vans *in* the village were there at least on sat and sun
morning, maybe an unrelated fault? I did speak to them to let them know
of the manhole problem, but they weren't very interested.

Has the cable been stolen then?

Yes, there's a crime reference recorded for it on BT's internal system.
I saw two BT lorries pulling the new cable in on Sunday evening, last
time it happened they seemed to chuck lots of vans full of engineers at
it 24x7 once the new cable was in, this time they seemed to only work on
it during the day, but I haven't been around all the time, so just based
on my observations "in passing"


Cable was solen from near crow mills then any idea from where to where?

Swmbo saw BT at a manhole just before and opposite the raised pavement
yesterday with what looked like a water pump, big yellow hose attached


Odd when I drove by the work in the village on Saturday (a week ago) I saw
the engineer handling what looked like 25mm diameter cables in the pit at
the green box near to the church just along from Griffs.
A friend asked the engineer who told him that the cables had been cut there
