Cable my street

Hi Ellen, thanks for the reply. However that is no use at the moment as the street isn't being cabled until July and so it just says, not available, so my query is still the same and thus, if the whole street is being cabled as per the plans, why is it, that if Nina meant  "each passing property" means some houses may not be able to receive Virgin media, why is that and what can prevent a virgin media media connection in some houses, even though the whole street is set to be installed.

In other words why can some houses be installed, however some cant?

Hi Ellen, Nina, the attached screenshot is what I mean. That's the plan for our street to be cabled in July this year. As it says "install a VM connection to each passing property" so does that mean that some properties may miss out. And if so why would some properties miss out, and what would prevent a property being installed, despite the whole street being according to the plans cabled.

Many thanks for you assistance.

If necessary I can send you my full address again for you to check to see if my actually property is set to receive a connection with no issues.

Many thanks Andy

We would always connect each possible property but in some cases it might be that one side of the street doesn't have it, whereas the other does. 

This could be down to access to the property, access to run the cables to the property or permission from the council. 

I'm sure as soon as we have further news on it being installed in your street then we'll let you know. 

:) 

Thanks Emma. No probs thanks for explaining. Can I therefore just ask 1 further question, I notice on the plans for our street it says "Build 4 footway cabinets, and build 3 carriageway crossings. Does that mean the plans include 4 grey cabinets on the street and does the 3 carriageway crossings means there will be cables run from one side of the street to the other side of the street, thus feeding both sides in most cases. 

Hi Andy111, 

That's exactly what it means :) 

Thanks,

Hi Guthrie, 

Thanks for your post. 

Usually once we've been in the area, if your address hasn't been cabled then it means there are no plans too. 

Cul de sacs are usually subject to wayleave or there may be private roads. 

We'll be making plans for 2021 soon so you may get on the plans then. 

Apologies. 

Thanks Kath. Hope you are well. I'd started to get excited when I'd seen cables being laid in other streets near us (as part of the build, with our street scheduled for July on the plans). However when I saw "install a VM connection to each Passing property listed for our street, I was worried they might miss just my house out or side of the street out lol. However the plans do state build 4 footway cabinets, and build 3 carriageway crossings, so it does look like both sides are set to be done.

There is a block of flats on the opposite side further up, so perhaps that's why they have put install to each passing place. Lol

Hi.  Sorry if this has already been covered but I've recently moved to one of seven new (11 year old) build.

Obviously I have registered on the checker etc. however all I want to know is, how do we (all seven houses) get somebody to see wether it's ever possible to have our road (red line) installed as the main street (green line) has already been done sometime ago.

Thanks

Darren

Hi guys!

Is there any update in regards to my area being cabled? I have noticed a few roadworks being carried out close to me by Virgin Media under 'advanced planning' on the roadworks.org website.

My postal code is M30 0FQ.

Can anyone confirm how soon I can get my grubby mitts on propper broadband?

Thanks,

Nate.

Hi Kath / Mods. Sorry to be a pain but can you just clarify one further point, then I will leave you in peace (honest) lol.

As per the screenshotted plans for our street. Although it appears they are cabling both sides , as there is set to be 3 carriageway crossings, It says "Install a VM connection to each passing property". Now I understand "install to each passing property" might mean some properties may miss out, however does this mean that when the build takes place, they will just install drop points where they wish or does it mean drop points will be installed outside each property providing there is no restrictions affecting that property. In other words when they start the build will I need to request a drop point outside or will they automatically put us one, providing no issues.

Also if for some reason they cannot place right outside our house, but can install a drop point next door, how many houses can use 1 drop point. I've seen some posts saying only 1 house can be connected and then others saying 2 houses could be connected to one drop point.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Evening Nated2018,

Thanks for taking the time to contact us here on the community :)

In order to help, I will need some information from you, so I'm going to drop you a PM (little purple envelope in the top right hand corner)

Once I have this I'll be able to look into things for you.

Many thanks,

Sorry for hijacking your thread but where did you manage to get a screenshot of the works and where they would be carried out?

On there mate, have a look on it. You can either look at todays, roadworks, next few weeks, upto 3 months or 12months. If you narrow it down to your area and then see icons that tells you what it concerns. For example a telephone icon is Virgin or one of the other telecommunications companies. Green means little disruption to traffic on a main road, Yellow a bit of disruption, red potential for quite a bit. 

Then if you click on the particular icon it tells you the nature of the work.

One thing I have noticed is the dates can be slightly out, but generally it gives you an idea
