Any Chance of me getting Broadband?
 

I live in an analogue area, is there any chance that we will be upgraded to Digital in the near future or have Virgin forgotten about us. I had TV with them but they swtiched analogue services a few years ago, however we still have their phone line. We are having to keep a BT line to get broadband at the moment.

Where do you live exactly?

I know phone comes down a different cable but I was under the impression that both/two cables were run to the property so if you have got one (phone) then you can get bb?

He can't get BB if the area doesn't have digital service.

why wouldn't VM make the digital service available in that particular area when they have done so in most others?

Re: Any Chance of me getting Broadband?
 

I didn't realise there were any analogue areas left. I thought VM abandoned the few remaining places they couldn't upgrade.

Zee, what part of the country do you live in? Your question can't be answered without knowing this.

London East
E15 3PG

The same reason they haven't made digital service available in almost half the country?

Re: Any Chance of me getting Broadband?
 

As I suspected - you live in one of their abandoned areas. I'm slightly surprised they're still supplying you your phone service, they certainly aren't signing up new customers at that postcode.

You're wasting money having a BT line and a Virgin line. I think you should start looking into getting the virgin number ported to BT and then ditch VM altogether.

We have talk anywhere tariff and don't want to lose it especially as it's not available anymore.
What is an abandoned area? Will VM ever take an interest in us again?

Re: Any Chance of me getting Broadband?
 

Talk Anywhere is pointless and overpriced, why would you not want to lose it?

My wife uses it to call her parents that's mainly I why I've kept it also like the idea of being able to call anywhere in the world even though we don't

Re: Any Chance of me getting Broadband?
 

Huh, I thought it lets you call anywhere in the UK, not the whole world.

You might want to look into how much that's costing you per month versus how much you'd save if you used a VoIP provider. Even something like skype has reasonable rates for calling internationally and free if you call another Skype user.
