Re: The Virgin Media cabinets in the street
First, there is the distruption to all the people serviced by that cabinet as they will all have to probably be disconnected for a period of time whilst everything gets moved, and the compensation.
Then there is the cost involved in submitting planning permission to the council, contractors wages, distruption to the area with noise and dust whilst they dig up the road
Then, as luluimmi suggest, where it is to be moved is open space, it is in a more prone position and a bigger target for people who think damaging the cabinets are a laugh.
Finally, if Virgin start down that road, where does it end? Is anyone here willing to pay higher subscription charges to pay for cabinets to be moved?
The utility companies charge to their customers to move meters if there is no real need, why should Virgin not do the same for their cabinets
If the problems are as bad as been said, then involve the police. That is what they are there for.
