Drawn a blank.

Answer at the moment an emphatic 'no', so an area the size of most towns has zero cable, due to Bell Cablemedia not finishing the build. The joys of franchises, this area and the 2 areas directly to our north all had their franchise owned by a different company to most of the rest of the city, the result being most of the rest of the city had cable.

We're a pretty big black hole in the cable coverage and it looks like we'll remain that way for the foreseeable.

There is core fibre running through the area, with ducts going to Wakefield, Bradford and (I think) Seacroft, at very least the ducts to Wakefield and Bradford go through served CATV areas and there seem to be spurs off that ducting.

Disappointing.

Thanks for the advice.
