....and just like Westminster, also one of the most sensitive areas in the country too. Even when I briefly worked at Encom, which was the original cableco which cabled up East London, CW was an iffy area. And there sure weren't any skyscrapers or Waitrose shops around then!

To be blunt, I don't think you're going to see any progress on this, if at all, for a long time. The reasons why the area can't be re-cabled just don't add up to me....

It's even more bizarre considering cw has probably more fibre optic cable per square metre than any other area in the UK. And nearby you have the London Teleport and other telco related installations too.

I would write to your MP on it, don't hold your breath waiting for BT or VM to do something. A kick is required here, me thinks.
