Hello!
A number of months back (before the election), I received a letter from Virgin Media explaining that they are building in my area. I seem to recall there was some sort of unique code on it. Unfortunately, I have lost this letter.
I'm currently on Plusnet VDSL2 and wish to move to FTTP once my contract ends in late October. I've seen a number of grey Virgin Media boxes dotted around the village, the closest to me is at the end of my street roughly 540 ft away according to Google Maps. There's also a telephone pole across the street roughly 67 ft away.
I remember reading in the letter something about using existing telephone poles where it would make sense. The telephone poles have had some kind of upgrade done to them all around the village with new black boxes. A little research indicates these might be Openreach CBTs, but I just wondered if Virgin Media was using the telephone poles, what exactly their equipment would look like?
Elsewhere around the village, Virgin Media's Toby boxes can be seen, but my street specifically is heavy with traffic and I haven't seen any Toby boxes here. It would seem Nexfibre has been busy in my village, and my village is down in their latest Q2 rollout report PDF under 2024. However, the Causeway one.network map doesn't seem to indicate any plans for my street in the next 12 months.
As a potential new customer, I'm confused as to whether Virgin Media will be an option or not?
Kind regards,
