Chorus rollout in Newbridge & cabling

    There's something a bit odd going on up my road at the moment. There's a company called KN network services who have been laying cabling around where I live. I am assuming its for the new chorus digital and broadband services, for which our connections have been upgraded. Anyway they have put some kit (cabinets etc) at the end of the laneway where I live, they have already laid cables under the road and under the grass alongside this laneway.
    The strange thing is this:- the cabling runs under the ground within a green cover sort of a thing, then they have tacked it up my neighbours back wall, across his wall, tacked it to the fence of the neighbour at the back of me, and it's running along the back walls of the other houses so far as I can see.

    Apart from the fact that they did not ask permission to enter my (and as far as I know, other neighbours property) ,is it not a bit strange to be running these cables along walls, one which is completely visible to all and sundry using the laneway to the estate?

    I only spotted this the other evening and have not seen any of my neighbours to talk to.

    Any ideas?

    They were doing the exact same upgrade work in my area(Ballincollig) recently. They seemed to know which houses had Chorus services in use and tended to install equipment and larger cables on those houses..
    As far as I know(Can't find my contract) Chorus contracts contain a paragraph saying that you agree to allow chorus or people working for them to enter your property and replace/maintain/install any cable/equipment these please.
    Also any houses that they plan to install equipment on usually get asked before hand. All houses in the area should also have received a letter from Chorus about the upgrade works with a number to call should they have any questions, comments or complaints...
