Canary Wharf will be just Telephone and Analogue TV for now, and then when Analogue is switched off, will just carry BBC1,BBC2,ITV1,Channel 4 and Five until 2012.

I know that some businesses use the telephone service, I think it is daft not to upgrade this area.

Other areas which may never be upgraded:

Queens Park
Kilburn(Westminster part not Brent or Camden streets)
Lisson Grove
Marylebone
Mayfair
Pimlico
Victoria
Paddington
Great Portland Street/Portland place/Cleveland Street
Edgware Road
Piccadilly
Charing Cross Road/Strand

All above are in the Borough of Westminster.

Broadband is available to some of the above areas however you need to call 0800-952-0345 to find out what exactly is available. The Virgin Media website may well say you are not in a Cabled area and will offer Virgin National services instead.

This area is an ex-BT Cable franchise, Videotron and Cable and Wireless offered the Telephone service as a stand alone product this area however, I think it may now be available to pre-january 2000 Residential customers and Business customers only. As BT prohibited NTL offering this as part of the lease of its Cable network.
