I was meaning when new streets are being built the pavements are not yet tarmac'd and it would be the best time to lay the cables...?
I find it extremely hard to accept the VM argument of "oh it costs thousands" well, if they refused to dig anywhere they would have ZERO customers.
I am SURE loads of people want their streets cabled, yes I accept this costs money to do, but these houses will be here for decades and that could mean decades of revenue coming in from these streets.
So its chicken and egg situation for VM adding new streets to their network.
I offered to pay for my install but they wouldnt even entertain it.

Anyone who is awarded community service in UK should be given a shovel and gloves and told to go help companies dig the streets so "Fibre To The Home" can be a reality.
Lets face it, in our lifetime Fibre is NOT going to happen with BT...
