Virgin Media Rollout

Hello, I spoke to an Avonline network surveyor outside my property who told me that Virgin Media are expanding their network into my area. He said to expect a letter in a few months about it.

How long does it normally take from surveying to running cables?

BT are installing fibre on my road right now but ideally I'd like to wait for Virgin before committing to a new FTTP contract for 18-24months.

Thanks

    "How long is a piece of elastic?"

    VM never publish timescales of their work and you only find out when it goes live. Even the VM staff on the board do not know. You cannot go on other people’s experience as all areas are different and some have taken years to go live.

  • I prefer string to elastic 😀

    No problem, I was just hoping for some insight into the timescales and when I could expect it.

    I'm not very patient when I know something is on the horizon.

    Thanks
