Eircom put a white mark on my telephone post in back garden.Is it a sign of BB going in?

shinzon

nope more than likely thats a sign to say bypass this house and put it in everywhere else

Im actually only half joking on that by the way

Sorry serious answer, more than likely it means absolutely nothing m8, have a look to see where your street cabinet is and see if theres any digging or eircom vans near it, might be in look

Could mean anything but i very much doubt its got anything to do with broadband

Not being smart,but what exactly is a telephone post? I know they used to mark poles red if they needed to be replaced,maybe white means pole is OK

More lightly that they are either going to replace the pole.

Normally all they do for enabling an area for BB is install a DSLAM or two in the local exchange, or possibly some mini dslams in street cabinets in densely populated areas.
