Hi again. We want to get fibre optic internet at our property. FO is available in our road and there is a box on the telegraph pole at the corner BUT... Apparently we need permission from each home owner for the company to pass the cable along to our house (approx 20 houses away). The street is residential but primarily Spanish holiday homes which are all locked up. All the providers are saying it's impossible (I don't get it, surely they are losing money?)

Anyway, did anyone else have this issue? If so, how did you overcome it? 

I think I'm going to have to get antenna internet. 

For info, it's a holiday home which we will use in the off season & rent in the high season. 

TL:DR need permission from other homes to run cable? Have you done this?

Soundslike utter rubbish to me. The fibre optic cables run through culverts under the public pavements, and they connect to each house through ducts built in when the houses are constructed. Unless you are in a gated urbanisation of course.

Hi Peter C yes, it sounds mad, but the cables are on telegraph poles. You can see the boxes & cables. We have spoken to several companies & they all say the same 😩
