Why did they miss odd streets out?

I know of areas where cable is available on one side of the street and not the other. This is probably down to the way that the areas were broken down fundamentally before any build was started. It could be that there is a natural boundary between the cabled and non-cabled areas - like a railway line or main road/dual carriageway where you'd want to make the minimum number of crossings due to expense. Normally you'd find that in such areas the houses on either side will be fed from different nodes, or even different fibre rings or hub. The main reason for stopping will be money (or lack of it!) But I would be surprised if there are areas which were constructed by ntl and not activated, the exception being new developments and footways/roads which have been resurfaced by the local authority which have ducts in them where, in all likelyhood, the intention was to expand the network to include these areas at that time.
