Im not aware of what VM is planning on doing in the future, could you explain about IPTV and how it fits in with their network? Presumably still limited to cabled areas only?
Some other questions:
I am informed by some friends that they are now on 50Meg broadband, one person assures me this is via fibre (?), so VM *must* be laying new cables as I thought the existing infrastructure was Coaxial....
If I was miles away from a VM area I wouldnt be on here asking about how to get connected... but when the green box is only round the corner it seems unreal that they wont connect any new properties. It IS within reach.
BT installed ducting on this estate without complaining of the "costs too much" catchphrase, so are you saying the developers paid BT? I think not!
They can run BT/Electricity/Gas [almost Gas] into every UK home so why not Cable? It just goes to show how disjointed all our utility companies are.
And why cant VM be allowed to use BT's ducting into my estate? Its a free-for-all with local loop unbundling so why not allow similar use of shared ducting with other telco's ? It works both ways...
I just think all the options are available within reach and at minimal cost but BT and VM cant be bothered to make a better experience for the customer.
