LMAO my village is over 200 years old, it was the the miners from my village who initially founded the labour movement for all their sins, so I suspect the 2 year time limit may have lapsed long long ago. The truth of the matter is a village like mine with a local exchange serving say 5 thousand customers is not worth the expense it would cost them to lay the fiber in the first place.

LMAO the entire surrounding area around me have had cable for 20 plus years. There just not bothered about my village, which is less than 6 miles from the city of Durham and Durham university.

I live in what used to be their UK HQ before being taken over by Vermin and every single street around here has it bar mine.

I was on the roof the other day and had door knockers trying to sell Virgin, she got ecstatic when I said I wanted it but not so when I asked when the cable would be fitted as nothing was laid in the road

its all about costs. trust me when i say this, when virgin have collated the funds that they think they need, they WILL expand into those non servicable areas. they will have no choice but to expand if they want to getting a bigger market share and beat competitors. it will happen but u jus gotta wait ... might be waiting a good few years but they will do it

The previous company's didn't bother did they ? (NTL, CW and TW)

I'm sure they took over from the company's that laid the fibre optic cables and never bothered to expand what was left for them (could be wrong).

Pull your finger mate, its been like that for 10 years

[punisher]

They did take over what foundations were already laid but they also took the debt that went along with it which they are still paying off. Its not cheap to expand. Financially it has to make sense in order to make it happen, and all the legalities that go along with it like councils not allowing streets to be dug up now or new builds not allowing cable but only bt. So its abit more difficult than it may seem

on my mum street which is terrace st in the mid 80,s ninex dug up both sides of the streets and left there little triangle covers on the cable conduits

a few weeks after the engineers left they layde cable on the opposite side of the street but never did my mums side and to this day they wont lay the cable on my mums side even tho it only needs pulling through

I've got a similar problem, cable stop short of my house. If I lived 2 doors up the street I'd be fine with cable but for what ever reasons the last 6 houses on the same side & in the same street are not cabled.

Ask the person that lives 2 doors up, if you can split the feed with them and pay half
