FTTP FTTC and soffits

Mistakenly posted in general discussion, sorry for cross posting.

Morning all,

I'm in the process of replacing my soffits, from the pole 10 meters away I have the FTTP cable and the old copper cable both attached. I have DV so presume the copper cable is redundant, what can I do about removing the copper line, I'd rather not reattach but I can't leave it dangling either?

I can't be the first for this so what have others done?

TIA

Michael
 
I removed mine and chopped it at the BT pole about 5ft from the ground then cable-tied it to the pole. You're not supposed to touch it but I'll never use copper and didn't want it on my house so.
 
Ask the provider of the copper cable and they might remove it for you.
Or coil it up and leave it dangling on the pole ?

Thanks all, I like the idea of coiling it up and attaching to the pole, as the soffits are hopefully being done tomorrow I may follow up with the OR form...but might give me away as the 'culprit'.
