Please God, no. Cityfibre are my best shot for finally being free of Virgin.

A lot of other people will be hoping that this doesn't go ahead too.

Not actually sure where they currently are in Nottingham, I know they have done Wollaton, Bilborough and various other places.

I'd definitely jump ship to them when they have done my area, but no idea when they will reach me.

The post code checker just says they are coming.

I'm about 10 miles out of Nottingham, their PC checker is what I used.

Do CF use their own duct? If so, they will be lucky to find space underground round here, what with BT copper, Openreach fibre, Virgin, gas, electric, and water, all sharing the same bit of pavement.

City Fibre installed all their own ducts round here. (Purple) Plenty of other utilities to dodge round.

There are several companies installing the cables around my area. City Fibre have put ducts in, Zzoomm have just put the cables straight into the ground and put new tarmac over them.
