sorry its customer services only...no hotline to the top ,many areas are unfinished the original build cost around 1,000,000 pounds a mile ,you have to calculate what vm will get in return for spending hundreds of thousands of pounds diging up the street and laying duct ,cabs , electronics etc ,sadly not enough for 1 new customer

1,000,000 pounds a mile ???? what kind of business model based on THAT would ever turn a profit?:Yikes:

Somehow i dont think it was that costly. ;)

As a planner for Ntl:Telewest Business i know how much it costs per meter for Carriageway construction and its nowhere near that cost. Footway is even cheaper.

I cannot give out the costs here as they are confidential

However for one residential customer they are still very expensive.

NTL did not go bankrupt, it filed for protection.

When was the last time any consumer got to speak to a "top director"? I think you need to be a little bit more realistic in you expectations.

i agree it sounds ott but that is what i was told, its not just diging and duct its cabs /electronics1 dsa feeds up to 600 customers[in theory]but most no where near that, elctronics alone 80-100 k depending on what kits in them
