Cable my street

[rgjstone]

Hi I'm just wondering if I could get some information if it's likely my street will be cabled in the near future? I noticed there's some cables being installed a street over and further back from there.

I've attached an image to show where they're being installed, we live between Wardle St and Sandal St and are all currently connected to an old bt cabinet and community funding an upgrade would cost us £5k through openreach even though there are fibre enabled cabinets within 20 metres and we live walking distance to the centre of manchester.

Any further update from the spotter?

Thanks for the post Paulmatthews40.

If when searching your postcode on the checked this isn't showing the spotter may have found it not serviceable.

The sales team tend to have the most recently updated systems for homes. 

Thanks, Emily.

The red area is covered by Virgin Media & the blue is where the cable needs installing. It seams an easy set up

So now, no ones PM works, so can’t chase this up?

Hi Paulmatthews40,

Thank you for coming back to us, we were unable to find anything out and advised there aren't any plans currently, you can contact our sales team who will be able to arrange for a spotter to have a look.

Regards

Paul.

Hi

Thanks for replying, but I knew all that, but the last DM was that a spotter would check the area and update me, but that was 3/4 weeks ago

As soon as the team have an update I am sure they will contact you. 

Cheers.

Hi, I've had a look to see if Virgin is available in the area I'm moving to using Think Broadband's maps and it seems there is cable but no availability. I called up to see if there plans to install Virgin there but the person on the phone (who was quite rude and unhelpful..) just said no plans.

Any ideas?
