Every pavement in our village has been excavated by Virgin Media contractors over the past few weeks, laying fibre cable with an underground spur box at the edge of the pavement outside of each property. We are all wondering how they will get from that to the house without digging up driveways etc. IF a customer should choose their service.
I am baffled that a company would carry out such expensive works “en spec” with no guarantee of take up by customers. My conclusion is that they must be spending someone else’s money…i.e. government hand outs (tax payers money) maybe to get the nation digital?. If so, yet another initiative that has not been thought through.
Please tell me I am incorrect in my suspicions!
When they put our cable in they used a drill to get through/under the wall, then a device rather like a drain mole to pull the cable under the grass to a box on the wall of the house.
