Re: VM to begin expanding its cable network

Hi Guys

There are no specific areas being cabled currently although we have some major projects going through approval stages as we speak. New Builds currently undertake jobs cabling new build developments which are most cost effective when you work with the developers to lay cable. We are also infilling areas that are within network areas that dont ahve cable. For example the old chestnut of one side of the street is cabled and not the other.

Major cabling projects probably wont happen for a few years, for this im referring to areas that dont have cable at all (think areas like Aberdeen that is totally "offnet").

Analogue upgrades are a massive project and areas like Bolton, Leicester, Chesterfield and West London are all on the cards but nothing is gauranteed at this stage.

I hope some of this info is helpful.
