Ipswich, where to live for cable connection?

[qwqwek]

Hello guys,

I am planning to move to Ipswich soon and was wondering which is a good place to live for broadband. I want to have cable connection rather than adsl (I read somewhere ipswich has only a few cable places). Ideally I will like to live near the train station.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

Cheers

I'm in Ipswich and never get anything less that 20mb at all times. (Cable that is). If that's any use to you.

And it is available round the train station area.

Ipswich West and Central is well wired. It changes to the far East of Ipswich which is BT land.

Thanks for your responses guys. It is strange, I googled for the postcode for Ranelagh road which gave me IP2 0AQ, IP2 0AN. Virgin media says this is a non-cable area!!

There are several postcodes covering Ranelagh road, and possibly more coming soon as there is a massive new development going up on the old Compac Reva site.
The recent new set of flats (Centrum Court (Pooley's Yard), IP2 0AR) appears not to be cabled by the looks of things.

IP2 0AA, IP2 0AD, IP2 0AF, IP2 0AH are also for Ranelagh Rd and are cabled.

How did you get all these postcodes? Is it possible to get a map of postcodes?

Somebody suggested that docks area has a lot of new apartments, any idea if they have cable there?

I checked some random postcodes in Ipswich region on the Virgin Media website and they said that it is an analogue area rather than a cable/non-cable area. What is that supposed to mean?

cheers

You had done the first bit by finding a Post code for Ranelagh Rd, I just went on Google map and Checked the other letters as Post codes are generally sequential geographically ans saw where they landed on the map, then checked it on VM site.

Royal mail also has a Post Code finder on line: Link

Thanks tcbass. I was able to carve out a map of the postcodes which have cable in ipswich. It is a shame that there isnt any new development in Ipswich which has cable connection!!!

I know, It's seem silly that VM isn't a bit more proactive with new developments, as it must be one of the cheapest ways of cabling an area, when its built from scratch. Especially when it's a block of flats on a street that's already cabled (Centrum Court, Ranelagh Rd).
