Yes they say NYNEX on the manhole cover in front of them, there are small sized ducts running to the left and right with smaller manholes that also say NYNEX.

There's another one. Strange hey?

Re: Cable network map
 

Ah yes. Nynex. There is an extensive thread somewhere about that.

What I meant was that I'd never heard of cable cabinets or manholes where there is no cable service.

Re: Cable network map
 

They do exist, in places where they stopped building when the money ran out.

Virgin should expand its Cable area!

Samknows have a scrollable map that can check any road for services here http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_mapping

Re: Cable network map
 

Hmm - looks interesting.

Pity their drop down "select" list doesn't include our road. It's only been there 60 years ;)

Re: Cable network map
 

Ignore the search box, just use the map and click on the road - it should then prompt to enter the house number

Re: Cable network map
 

Nynex acquired some smaller cable operations like Bolton Cable Vision and then once that happened they expanded to all streets and properties well until the merger talks with Cable and Wireless started, in 1996 Bell merged internationally with Nynex making Bell and Nynex one company then acquired the UK operation of Videotron, then shortly after Cable and Wireless got there hands on the UK arm of Bell/Nynex UK, Cable and Wireless probably then focused on Digital and future services rather than expanding. 2012 is here now, Virgin Media now own the franchise and as new streets and buildings have sprung up since 1994, it needs expanding once again.

Re: Cable network map
 

BT Infinity will soon cover 75% of the UK, Virgin Fibre area only covers 50%, that needs to go up!

Re: Map
 

that map made me laugh as for example it shows that most of Stoke isint covered when it has infact been for years lol

Re: Cable network map
 

What's interesting is in the case of that second picture I linked to they have recently done a couple of digs on the duct and tarmaced it back over. So whether or not that particular cabinet does anything or ever did, the duct itself is certainly still in use.

Strange that the second map also shows a small part of Wirral called Hoylake is covered. The Virgin Media Business network map shows the same but that area has no service at all!

Re: Cable network map
 

Here is an NTL/Telewest combined franchise map. It shows the core network and franchise areas, although in some of these areas local network build was never completed, and along part of the south coast never started.

Re: Cable network map
 

interesting stuff, cheers

Re: Cable network map
 

That is an old one, even the core network is wrong, at the time and even more so now.

I think the cable footprint is company confidential, if it isn't I'll post a more up to date version

Re: Cable network map
 

the NTL Telewest Business logo is the give away that its old, still interesting tho ;)
