Unfortunatly not it seems, every street in our estate has CABTV in the streets, but several new builds added to the streets in the last 5 years, only have the BT manhole covers. while the older houses, on the otherside of teh street have the joys of both.
I agree it would make sense to, but all the new housing seem to be stuck with brand new BT cabling.
Not sure if companies would think it financialy viable or who would inform ISP's that there are new houses/flats being built, want you cables in, so nobody has to dig up a new path.
