I know, we haven't had any calls from residents/local authorities complaining about hanging cables, etc.

I didn't realise how far the Metro network went, until we discovered a box hidden under a desk when packing up for the 'move'. I agree that it was a mistake that the network was closed down considering the number of homes it passed. But wasn't the argument that it wasn't making any money?

The original CableTel architecture is basically the current RF spec with a few very minor changes.

There are new developments being made 'cable ready' (In the old 'Celtic' Region anyway can't say for the rest of the country), but ntl will never get into all sites even if they're on build.
