jio is only telecom company doing that

In my area Tata Sky Broadband and ACT both have laid overhead cable. Although once in a while someone cuts ACT fiber cable which takes them a day to fix.

Can you please indicate your area ? Have they approached you with offer of connection ? Since when they hace completed the overhead cabling ?

Because its easier to give connections through junction boxes installed on poles. They are paying charges per pole to electricity board.

These cables are everywhere even in small towns. Damm!!! Jio is planning something big.

Near my house they laid it underground using the cable trenching machine .They have created road humps by burying the junction boxes few inches above the road surface.

Care to share images?
