Complaints about the erection of new telegraph poles are nothing new in the UK. But one growing campaign – involving residents of Hedon and South Preston – appears to be taking their dispute with full fibre network builder MS3<\/a> to a new level, by organising a 10-year boycott of broadband ISPs that sell their services.<\/p>\n

At present MS3<\/a>, which is backed by investment from Asterion<\/strong>, is busy deploying a 10Gbps capable full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network across parts of Lincolnshire<\/strong> and Yorkshire<\/strong> in England. Some 106,000 premises (RFS) have already been covered (c. 150,000 built), but the operator ultimately aims to reach 535,000 premises across the North of England by the end of 2025 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

However, in recent weeks, the operator has faced a number of growing street protests from residents and sympathetic councillors in parts of Hedon<\/strong> and South Preston<\/strong> where the new network is currently being deployed. As is so often the case these days, the anger centres around MS3<\/a>’s deployment of telecoms poles to run their new fibre cables.<\/p>\n

Building poles, which are a common sight across much of the UK, is usually much more cost-effective and less disruptive to local residents than digging trenches for underground cables. The lower cost impact can often also mean the difference between building into an area or skipping it entirely.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, not everybody is a fan of poles. Complaints often focus on their negative visual appearance, concerns about the risk of damage from major storms (example<\/a>), and a lack of prior consultation – poles are built via Permitted Development<\/strong> rights and don\u2019t have to go through the usual planning process.<\/p>\n

In the case of the two aforementioned communities, households are now being asked by the action group “Save our Streets \u2013 Going Underground<\/em>” to sign-up to a pledge form, declaring their intention to boycott MS3 for at least ten years should the poles be deployed (see the Hedon Blog<\/a>). An extract from that form can be seen below:<\/p>\n

HOUSEHOLD PLEDGE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This household pledges not to use services, delivered by MS3 Networks, via new telegraph poles. Should poles be deployed, this boycott of MS3 Networks and internet service providers (ISPs) that choose to use telegraph poles, shall remain active for ten years from this date and will not be reviewed until October 2033.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

This boycott will end upon receipt of a written commitment from the Chief Executive Officer of MS3 Networks that telegraph poles will not be deployed. In the event of telegraph pole deployment, only their removal will see the end of this active boycott.<\/p>\n

The period of the boycott will see residents and businesses actively encouraged not to sign up to those ISPs that choose to use telegraph poles, favouring instead those ISPs that choose established underground networks. During the period of boycott, all goodwill and friendly relations with boycotted ISPs will cease.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition, the group recently launched a national petition<\/a> to request a change in Government legislation, which much more broadly calls for “telecommunication installations in the public realm to go through the local planning process<\/em>” and hopes to gather 10,000 signatures over the next few weeks (so far they’re at around 4,000) – this is enough to attract an official response from the government.<\/p>\n

However, the petition goes far beyond poles and would cause a significant delay to deployments of both mobile and full fibre broadband networks (both overground and underground), as well as rising costs that would impact coverage – affecting those in some of the hardest to reach locations the most.<\/p>\n

The government would be unlikely to pay this much heed, as any restrictions on the build would seriously damage their own targets for digital infrastructure, while ignoring the many people who are still seeking access to faster broadband and better mobile connectivity. Quite a lot of people would be happy to see poles if it meant they could access full fibre etc.<\/p>\n

Tony Jopling, COO at MS3, said previously:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“MS3\u2019s mission is to overcome the challenges local people have endured for decades due to a lack of choice of broadband provider.<\/p>\n

Our team is keen to work with local residents to help them understand the benefits of both pole and underground infrastructure and how it enables MS3 to offer affordable, faster, fairer broadband to communities. MS3 Networks completes all building work in line with the Electronic Communications Code, Schedule 3A Communications Act 2003 and the voluntary Code of Practice: Cabinet Siting and Pole Siting Code of Practice.<\/p>\n

This sets out that MS3 is legally permitted to install new infrastructure both above and below ground, providing notice is given. Installing poles will allow us to quickly ensure local residents and business have access to cost savings and choice of broadband provider.<\/p>\n

MS3 has a comprehensive community engagement strategy to ensure the benefits of pole deployment are understood, and so residents can learn more about the work we\u2019re doing ahead of its commencement. In addition, we have built relationships with local councils and are in frequent contact with councillors to update them on our build strategy and make them aware of the work we are planning.<\/p>\n

Our aim is always to create a dialogue between the team at MS3 and the local community, and we are more than happy to answer any questions local people have. We acknowledge that broadband infrastructure in Hull and its surrounding areas is extremely unique, and this comes with its own set of challenges.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Naturally, we\u2019d all prefer it if broadband, power and mobile infrastructure was totally invisible, but that\u2019s not always economically feasible because underground deployments tend to be significantly more expensive. In some areas, the choice is thus between either having poles or no fibre at all. It’s worth remembering that the UK is already home to many millions of poles, including for electricity and street lighting.<\/p>\n

Back in 2021 we asked 657 of our readers whether they would accept poles to get FTTP<\/a>, if the alternative meant having to wait years longer for the service, and 71% said they\u2019d take the poles. More recently, we asked 400 readers if, when looking to buy a new house, the existence of poles in the street outside to carry fibre would be a major negative factor in their decision \u2013 77% said no.<\/p>\n

However, it’s also clear that poles have a growing tendency to divide public opinion (examples here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>), particularly when built into an area that previously only enjoyed the benefits of underground infrastructure (this is where most of the gripes come from).<\/p>\n

But we have seen some similar campaigns succeed in at least discouraging the deployment of new poles by various operators into specific areas, which is probably the best this campaign can hope to achieve. At the same time, it’s worth remembering that there will be those in these areas who will miss out on better broadband connectivity as a result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
