Re: How big are VM's infills?

....yeah, that sounds like the old cablecos we all use to know and love....!

Must have been a Nynex manager that lived in the village and insisted that his road got "prepared" for cable, even though there would have been zero chance of a small village getting cable tv back then, let alone now. Residential streets should only have been dug up once the "trunk" fibre cable has been passed through the area. There is no point in digging up streets and pavements, until the cable tv network via the main trunk fibre cable is there. What a waste.

My road and the surrounding estate got dug up and cabled about six months after the main fibre cable went through the main road in my area.

What ignitionet is talking about is not a few houses, but many. 90% of the money was already spent in preparing his area, so seems very odd that the work wasn't finished.
