Makes a bit more sense, thank you

There's plenty of instances where two properties next to each other on the same street, with the same post code, are on different nodes. Internally, although Virgin will put messages on the website or IVR saying what post codes are affected by issues, they actually track them via an internal node code, like CCC0 1234, for this very reason.
It's why it's usually pointless checking with your neighbour if their connection is all right or not, because nothing is guaranteed.
