I am moving to a new property which has bt openreach lines wired in
when I search online I can’t find my new address, only those across the street.
i am unsure if I can get virgin or not in the new home as there appears to be a conflicting advice on whether virgin are now also using the open reach lines or not. I know they didn’t used to but there were some articles saying they do now
how can I definitively find out if I can move my services to the new address? Thanks

VM wouldn't use the same lines as it's a different, bespoke, network, however they could use the same physical ducting to pass the fibre/coax through.

VM are using some Openreach ducting in areas where:
1) They are installing full fibre infrastructure, & 2) The ducting is suitable to patch across from their own infrastructure in the vicinity.
The vast majority of VM cable areas are HFC build & use coaxial cabling not fibre, making the smaller diameter Openreach ducting unsuitable for distribution purposes.
