Old phone line

‎13-11-2025 8:52 PM - edited ‎13-11-2025 8:52 PM

Hi, after some advice. I switched to full fibre some time ago and haven't had a landline since. The old cable still comes to the house and thru the wall. Would like to use existing hole for something else. Can I pull old cable out myself, or do I need openreach to remove? Thanks

Official, OR own the line up to the master socket. If it was me, I would careful remove it and leave it tidy (so the wife was happy) on the outside. You should not climb up the pole to remove it.
