Cable our streets

This is a typical situation with the legacy HFC cable system like you have in your area. This only allows for a finite number of connections in any network segment. Any roads that were Private, or otherwise had an embargo attached at build were excluded from the original cable builds in the 1990s. If some segments did have the capacity & it was economically viable (HFC build is very expensive), some of the network was expanded, but this no longer happens. A few areas with a large infill (several hundred houses) have been added by means of fibre RFoG overbuild, but the network alterations are such that smaller expansion is again not viable.

The good news is that VM is moving away from traditional cable services in a rolling programme over the next 4 years, that will see HFC replaced with full fibre plus the use of third party ducting where suitable.
