pittpete1 join:2009-06-12 1 recommendation	pittpete1 to treich Member 2013-Sep-10 7:12 pm to treich Get yourself a trench shovel. Dig a trench from the pole to your tel. service entrance. around 8 inches deep. Call repair and tell them the drop is down. When the guy comes out, ask him to take the drop off your house and lay it in the trench and put up a NID with proper grounding. Throw him 10 bucks and dont waste any of your time or $$$$ arguing with idiotic reps.

Hank Searching for a new Frontier Premium Member join:2002-05-21 Burlington, WV ARRIS NVG443B Ubiquiti NanoStation loco M2	Hank Premium Member 2013-Sep-10 9:18 pm Are you asking because you are not a Frontier customer? Or are you asking for someone else? Frontier or any other Telco is not going to come into an area served by another carrier and do anything to their lines or equipment. I am doubtful that they would not do it even you not customer until you have signed up for some kind of service provided by Frontier, it was an old installation they would probably charge to place it underground. In our area they normally do above ground installations. In order to get my utilities underground I had to pay my contractor to do the trenching and pull the power cable. I pull line was installed for Frontier and they did pull the Telco cable through.

I don't believe the online chat is going to be worth your effort. Express your safety concern. If that doesn't work contact the organization in your community that deals with safety hazards created by utilities. Good luck.

pittpete1 join:2009-06-12	pittpete1 to treich Member 2013-Sep-11 3:59 pm to treich Get a ladder and cut the drop down if its not crossing a street. Cut the end near the pole and let it hang or coil it up and tape it.

Where is it along this run that you can reach up and touch it with you hand. It may be some of the illusions that have recently been presented on Brain Games is the reason it is not supporting your argument. Are you talking about where it attaches to your house?

This photo just does not support your concern at all. Maybe when you show that point you give us a distance from the house. Two pictures may be even better. One showing your relative position from the house and the other showing the almost touching sequence.

Ben J My spoon is too big Premium Member join:2011-09-16 Elk Grove, CA 1 recommendation	Ben J Premium Member 2013-Sep-11 6:50 pm Understood. Your General Manager should be Richard Hutchinson (richard.hutchinson@ftr.com) up in Bowling Green. Shoot him an e-mail with your address, a brief explanation of the problem, and the above photos. He should be able to get one of his technicians out of Celina to drive over and take a look at it. Let me know if that doesn't get the problem solved for you.

Dolfan join:2010-12-03	Dolfan to treich Member 2013-Sep-11 8:14 pm to treich The problem is you have a hip roof so you can't go any higher on the house. Depending on power clearances, it may not be able to be moved much higher, if at all, on the pole. If you don't have service then just cut the drop and be done with it. If you decide to hook up someday just request it be buried when you place your order. Not hardly a safety hazard as it is unless your going to be driving trucks under it in your yard. No voltage hazard of any kind.

My line even got cut/disconnected somewhere (my guess is after a bunch of vehicles were driving over it). I disconnected my service after they told me it would take 5 days to just hook the line back up. They never buried the cable. Here it is, almost 10 months after I initially had service, and their line is still not buried. I disconnected the line from my house about 4 months ago and threw it in the ditch. Seems to be the only way to get things done when you're dealing with Frontier.

treich join:2006-12-12	treich Member 2013-Sep-21 1:45 am Well they came out and just cut the line and the tech told me they wont bury it until I get service with them. They going to bury 6 pair line soon as I get an order in.

That is correct most companies will not do anything until they have a commitment. But happy to hear the line is out of your hair.
