Not much left now... The last exTelewest area of West London is currently being done... I'm not sure what's happing to the last bit of Southampton that is analogue.

Westminster and Milton Keynes are a seperate issue as they are BT owned.

On a more serious note be interesting to see if that demand does actually materialise or if everyone has buggered off to Sky now having gotten tired of waiting. More likely it's people with analogue already upgrading rather than new customers causing high demand, plus they will likely be wanting to switch the analogue headend off ASAP so perhaps even compulsorily upgrading customers as areas are enabled.

so you was correct on LE3 :) completed end of dec 2009.

the demand was/is there and was a 2 month wait for a good deal of time for installs and they had to borrow coventry install techs as well to handle the load. What very likely helped VM is that the BT infrastructure in LE3 is very poor.
