Cable my street

Tuning in

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.

Hello, 

I am a Virgin Media O2 employee, and I will be moving home to a flat that is not currently in the VM service area --- I just checked with the postcode checker.  Could you please DM me so we can chat if cabling my flat is a possibility?  Many thanks!

Anyone ever got a call back? 

 

I have now been waiting close to 2 months for the promised call back. 

 

The customer service here sucks.

I have been V customer for 13 years but have a new house.  

I raised a request in October 2022 but received no response and have identified nearby Virgin properties - adjacent to footpaths etc 

Thanks.  Happy to contribute to any cost.
