Discussion topic: Dropwire overload - defect sign on telegraph pole

This message was authored by: BurnleyLad · ‎21 Sep 2023

I have ordered full fibre from Sky broadband, to be installed in a couple of weeks.

I have noticed on the telegraph pole outside my house that a purple 'defect' sign has been placed on it in the last few days.

The sign says 'dropwire overload in 180° arc'.

What does this mean, and will it affect my installation?

Thanks 🙂

If your optical cable would be within the dodgy half, then I'd think so, yes.
