General : Virgin roadworks

[mjl123]

I noticed some green paint on the pavement by us, looked it up on RoadWorks.org and it says:

29 Mar - 31 Mar
Lay 42m of duct in footway and install 3 tees
o/s 7 MANOR PARK, UP HATHERLEY, CHELTENHAM
Virgin Media
Reference number: NK100/SSEMFI/100095072

My first thought was that this means they're going to cable that road, but do "tees" mean the junctions off to the properties? If so 3 would no where near cover that road. My next thought was 3 cabinets, but that sounds excessive for 1 road (30ish properties). Does anyone know what this means? The other confusing thing is the paint on the pavement seems to indicate whatever they're doing will end halfway down the road.

Unfortunately my road is connected to Manor Park (newbuild road off existing road) but our road hasn't been adopted yet, so I doubt this will help us, however we're on the corner with Manor Park (if the front door was on the other side of the house we'd be on that road), so if they are cabling Manor Park, they could easily include us, but how can I contact someone who could make this happen?
Thanks, Matt

Your problem would most likely be the "unadopted" status of your road as wayleave would need to be sought and it brings other complications along the way.

As to the rest I'll leave it to more knowledgeable people to explain

"It's also essential to include as much information as possible on network availability in the surrounding area - the team tend to look more favourably on requests closer to the existing network.

For example, think about the answers to these questions:
•Can people living nearby get Virgin Cable? If so, specify how close: the same street? A block away?"
