I have requested Chorus to remove all cables running across my house as well as connection points.
I have requested Chorus to remove all cables running across my house as well as connection points. I have been told by their call centre that I am not entitled to have these cables removed from my property! Chorus have a right to continue to run the cables across my property, even if I withdraw my consent. I find this incredible!
As Frank says, a ladder and pliers.
I have reached the end of my patience with Chorus and am closing my account. Sky have offered me the same channels with Sky Sports at a cheaper rate with no penalty for paying by non-direct debit.

Before I go to a solicitor and pay for advice has anybody been down this road before? Surely a private company such as UPC/NTL/Chorus need my consent (I own my house) before fixing cables and connection points to the wooden eaves of the roof of my house.They have been caught before putting ladders in my garden and working on cables on my roof. While I tolerated this while I was a customer, do I have to tolerate it when I am no longer a customer?
I hope you are not suggesting any illegal activity?
As far as I know the current operators have inherited some "way leave" rights established when the original cable was strung out between the houses in the 1970's.
In the same way as you cant interfere with water & sewage pipes or eircom & ESB ducts across your property I think you have no right to interfere with the TV cables where such "way leave" agreements exist.
They have refused to replace ten year old remote controls without charging.
I too am having problems with Chorus ntl. When I objected to them putting new wires around my house and under the drive their man rang HQ and reverted to me saying that if I let them that I would have a 50% reduction to my next bill. Needless to say this did not happen and very unfortunately the bill was paid in full before this was raised with them.
To cut a long story short I can get no satisfaction from Chotus ntl other than being told that I would end up in court if I removed their wires from my property and they will not reply to emails.
So should be grateful if anyone can tell me if I can legally remove their wiring from my property myself unless they do so after having been given say two weeks in which to comply with the request?
