Getting Rid of External Wires

Hello!

I'm looking to confirm that I still need the wires going from my house to the telephone lines on the street. I'm no longer using a landline, so I don't think I have any need for them, but I may need them for Ethernet purposes? Please advise.

Good evening @user_a04i48. Typically, those lines remain in place unless the poles are being replaced/removed. Is there a specific reason you are looking to remove the lines?

No, they’ve just been there a while and I was confirming they’re still necessary.

Thanks for confirming. Those lines should remain in place since there is no specific reason to have them removed. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
