Installing VM Fibre to Block of Flats
We have a block of 24 flats in West Sussex. The flats are situated in a street where Virgin media fibre has been installed to every property in the street apart from the block of flats. In fact there's literally a Virgin media telegraph pole next flat grounds entrance. There are some Virgin fibre cables connected to this telegraph pole which passes the block of flats to the two neighbouring buildings down the street. The previous estate Director said the Virgin Media fibre network was installed in the street a few years ago there was a plan to connect the flats to the network but due to the pandemic it was paused then never restarted. I've only recently taken over as Director and wasn't part of previous discussions so that's about as much as I know and unfortunately the other Directors aren't sure about the previous plan. As mentioned, there are 24 flats in the block and we a fibre connection, therefore, presumably this may be an attractive opportunity for VM. Additionally, the other Directors and myself are happy to explore and sign up to wayleave if required. I did previously speak with someone over the phone on customer service who stated they would look into this and get back to me, but I haven't heard anything for over a month. Just wondering if this is something that can be explored as we're really keen to get fibre installed and given there is a relatively new VM fibre network in the street with a connection point very close, I'm guessing this wouldn't be too onerous to have installed?Availability of Virgin Media to a specific address
I am provisionally going to move to Warrington, and on the street, the next-door neighbour can get Virgin Media services up to 2Gbps, but the house I am going to potentially move into doesn't have access. The street is right in the city centre, and I belive the house would have originally been part of the same building, so that is perhaps why it states I cannot get the services. The interesting thing about this is that the landlord owns both of these properties. As I am not in the building I do not want to put the post code or any identifying details at this stage can someone perhaps reach out and I can explore the options.

I have an interesting problem. I am currently awaiting appointment of a new job, with the job comes a manse or house. My employer owns two properties on a road in the centre of Warrington they are both next to eachother and I believe may have at one time been one single dwelling. One of the properties can get Virgin Media and the next door (the manse) cannot. When I called to see if it would be possible to place an order they refused saying there wasnt a possible connection to the house, they said it was due to there being no connection present. As my employer would be the landlord for both properties I fail to see why they cannot allow me or the landlord to order the services and then resolved the final part of the network by splitting or some sort of connection at the street level to resolve this simple issue. After all the neighbour doesnt want a connection to VM and yet I do so where do I go?
