As for digging up the road to lay new cable you got no chance. If your property has been built recently, and your more than 3 meters from the network you not gonna get cable, sorry

As for previously serviceable areas suddenly becoming non serviceable. That would be an error in the VM data base. VM don't remove all the cables and cabinets. The most important thing is the ducting where the cables get pulled through. If thats there you can have cable. If the data base is wrong you will need to get VM to amend this...... you'll need a spotter, good luck.

Some new developments are being cabled. The problem is that BT pay the developer £90 per unit to wire up each property. VM charge or sometimes do it for free. So most new builds are not cabled...... crazy i know, when you consider BT charge £130 per customer for instal, and VM charge £30. Maybe VM should charge £100 for new build, and pay to put cable into new build.
