I have burried the BT box.
Who might I have upset?

Whoever in future wants a BT line connecting; they're likely to pay full
whack for a new connection rather than a few quid to reconnect.



When I say "buried", the underground cable still goes to it from a pavement
manhole. The grey box was just taken off the wall and put under some
decorative pebbles. Virgin were the first to "abuse it" by linking through
it.
As you suggest though - it won't be my problem unless BT comes up with
something to beat my Virgin service.
