Virgin Media

[jonwoad]

Hi guys!

Does anyone know if Virgin have any plans to expand their cabled areas? Where I am at the mo I can only get BT and even then i'm at the limit of the exchange so my broadband speeds would be cr@p to say the least.

Any ideas?

From memory I walk past a green cable box on my way to the garage, it's probably about 30m away from my front door!

cant see why they can't lay cable on your road it sounds close enough.

Try Sky Satellite broadband

[jonwoad]

Dont you need a phone line for satellite broadband?

[PeterStoba]

Get a few people by you to ask aswell, they wont do it for one person

last time iirc i heard they didnt plan laying more cable till the end of this year but i would imagine if they get enough interest from an area they would, more so if its as close as it sounds in your area. you could always move down the road tho :D

[jonwoad]

Will ask the neighbours... I'm not moving again! not so soon!

[marsey99]

get 1 of them down the road to get it and buy a long lan cable?

:LOL:

[coiler]

*cough* lay a long lan cable yourself and cover it in cable armour, break into the green box and liberate it. *cough*
