No digging there then, just run the cable over the pavement. I know of at least one cab that is still awaiting power as BT and the power Co can't agree on cost for supply. Go figure.


May, but not always, plus - obviously, the duct laid will be new.

As I said "may". Can't see them putting in an old duct.

BT have to gain the exact same permissions as Virgin, as does any utility.

Permissions still have to be forthcoming and can still take time.
Nope. just a road opening notice from the local authority

OK just the local authority but it is still permission as they can't do it without it.

Yes, but obviously the cost of the dig is offset against each property passed.

Correct, if there's BT FTTC in your areas then from July there will probably be VM FTTC as as well (over BT obviously)
I have not seen any case of VM offering this. Have you?
