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.

Hi,

I spoke with Christy already, we have established there's no VM services for my building, however everywhere else on the street has it.

Is there no chance that VM can extend this short amount to our building?

I'm an existing customer for a year, and customer in other houses for the last 3 years. I would love to continue using VM internet services.

Thanks,

Thanks for the post Thodges2.

It may be that the building hasn't allowed us access to cable this specific property in the area but if enough people fill out the Cable My Street form we should be able to look into this.

Thanks, Emily.

The biggest problem with new estates is that they are usually built with an embargo in force against any new infrastructure projects for a number of years. The builders don’t want all and sundry coming in & digging up all their shiny new tarmac just after it’s laid. Another condition is that the streets must have passed into local authority control. VM do not generally install on private roads due to the sheer number of wayleave agreements that would be required.
