If you own the pole I suppose you could remove it...

As above, they’re for fibre internet |

I was joking about removing them of course, no neck winding required. I wondered if it was something to do with ULEZ or pay per mile. |

It's beyond me why they are still bothering trying to get wired broadband to residential properties, 5g mobile networks are fast enough for 99% of of households.

Unfortunately, if the government (not that it's their problem since 5G is privately owned infrastructure) were to put time/effort/cash into getting coverage into every home, the usage of millions of households concurrently would saturate the available coverage and reduce its usefulness to zero without a lot more infrastructure in place.

Hi, 5G is generally only confined to high density population areas because it's relatively low range and building penetration is poor. The further you go from the mast the more "noise" is created and the atmosphere, any anything in between, also reduces the signal strength and thus the amount of data able to reach you reliably.

Hi, forgot to add, a 5G cell is about a mile in diameter at the edge, anything closer to the mast can run faster, the closer to the edge, or beyond you just not going to get 5G speeds.

Everything you never thought about regarding celular radio and mobile signal propogation.

In my time as a tech I installed around 4000, fibre lines, pstn lines, fibre to the cabinet and anything else that was available. In Ireland we are spending 3 billion euro to get fibre to most homes and then wireless where it is unattainable. The beauty about fibre over wireless is it can be upgraded quite easily with minimal interruption, in other words, for most 150mb will do but if you want a gigabit its there, using the same lines they can increased that over time to 2 gig etc with minimal infrastructure upgrades.

I just posted the latest from Starlink, it's not going to give you such high data rates, but once you park up and pitch the antenna, you're away, anywhere.
