Supprised Thames Water dont, money grabbing grrrr's lol

It makes perfect sense to me, all they have to do is build a headend where the cables come out and hey presto, instant coverage... the Hardest part would be getting it from the sewars into the house, not sure how they would do that, but it wouldnt be hard to figure out...

If you where allowed to put stuff down the sewars, you could create your own network like that, as 90% of buildings how sewards i assume
