# i know,
but the way the adverts bleat on about it i know of a lot of people still awaiting there 'fiber' to be installed, where undertrained engineers come out with excuses like
'you only get fiber after 6 months, so vigin can make sure your good for your money'

i've seen it loads before working on cablehell.co.uk

# To be fair,
in networked areas ( I'm a builder and property developer ) most new builds are getting fibre to the house.

Edit:// I only just saw the fibre bit. What do you mea? You have FTC in all areas now and there are no plans to take existing fibre to any homes because it can already, easily support 100MB which is the final target for all customers.

# the problem is
virgin cannot afford to upgrade any more, there still over coming there NTL bankruptcy protection in the states, but SOME engineers do seem to make it out there soon to terminate cable in the home,
But considering most of their cabs in dunstable area are coax to Coax up to the UBR where they go back to virgin via fiber.

but at least cabletel used good grade cable round here.

i have been in talks with an VM employee who leaks annoymously, and there may be trials for FTTH when they can be sure the upgrade will be cost effective.

whereas i think if they upgradr from eurodocsis3 to docsis2 (us spec) they will be able to spit 100mb outwith less overheads.
