I have today (while on a walkabout), seen evidence of a telecential cable build in Bletchley (now a borough of Milton Keynes). The chambers and jointing are all labelled Telecential on the pavement.

This is interesting as this network was never expanded to Milton Keynes itself (which was a BT Cable franchise at the time before being leased to NTL, and then ultimately Virgin Media, before VM scrapped payments to BT just a few years ago).

Also, I can't see any evidence that the Telecential CATV network actually went live to customers in Bletchley, despite the visible build. Does Virgin Media have ownership rights to this particular Telecential infrastructure? If so, they might want to know CityFibre are trenching right along their route on the pavements here in Bletchley.
