As there is no BT fibre in that area (not sure about Virgin Cable) it might not be that unlikely?

No FTTC now, however that section of Brightside is in a comms corridor that has access to any pick of the leased line carriers.

DRL just provided a lower cost solution.

A number of those business opposite the cab have made use of Microwave connectivity for the past 10 years, long before DRL.

Beyond that, this cab served only 3 residential properties to my knowledge and has been trashed on at least five occasions I can think of myself (twice this year alone). I very much doubt that people would have seen it as a viable primary access means beyond the first 3 crashes.

Possibly one disgruntled ex DR customer with one 14lb disgruntled sledgehammer..

That's one way to force Openreach to remove the tie pairs.
