Phoned up the cable provider Sorry cable not available in your area, strange I said we have manhole covers with your name on it, yes but we not put any cable in, when will you be running cable? No idea nothing planned. Still no cable even though 100 yards away the houses on the main road have cable.
Last year I read an article by NTL stating they would not lay any new cable due to the cost. Wimax would be the answer to service non cable areas. This week the city pundits are putting forward a tie up with Cable & Wireless to provide Virgin Media services to non cabled areas. I don't think we will have to wait long for the answer.
