Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

If you are an affected person, you are considered to have agreed to let an FTTP service provider or a network operator enter your property and do a category 2 installation. This happens if certain conditions in sections 155J and 155L are met. You are deemed to have given your consent, which means you are treated as if you had agreed to it, even if you did not actually say yes.
