There are Virgin Media street cabinets around the housing estate (a large one and a few small ones), manhole covers (NYNEX)... the works. But you cannot order cable and not one house has it installed. What's going on? Did they never turn it on there or something?
This to me would explain why those particular streets in Greasby were chosen by Virgin and Fujitsu for this trial.

NYNEX may have run out of money to cable that area at the time.
