Re: Cable network map
The maps/location links given is for cable.. so as Martyh pointed out it will cover TV as well.. All other locations will be able to get the cable national service only so won't include TV.

You have to do it the long way and use the Post Code search facility online searching individual properties or contact the relevent companies. ---------- Post added at 17:21 ---------- Previous post was at 17:11 ---------- Quote:
The only Cabled areas where Virgin TV is not available is the Analogue only areas where the service is no longer available to new customers and such areas are waiting to be upgraded and thus will only offer you Broadband or Broadband and phone or nothing at all. Those areas are Milton Keynes,Westminster and a small part of Southampton and Leicester and I think Slough? Your area should be safe from that as the above areas are restricted due to the layout of there cities,local conservation rules and commercial agreements. Every property you look at, make a note of the post code and search it on the Virgin Media website, a quick way of finding out if a street is cabled is if it has the small grey or brown sometimes white junction boxes outside the house, indicates that house has had cable before. Another one is to look out for the green or sometimes grey street cabinets. |

Re: Cable network map
Sorry but the maps and surveys that BT Global,Virgin Media and Smallworld Media hold of there Cable franchises are confidential and the Data protection Act prevents them making them public because it reveals full details of addresses with post codes, glorious for junk mail.
You have to do it the long way and use the Post Code search facility online searching individual properties or contact the relevent companies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not sure what the DPA has to do with it when i can find any postcode/address i wish with a pretty map telling me where it is on the internet, happy to be enlightened though. http://www.royalmail.com/postcode-finder If one was inclined you could enter every combination of postcodes and and get as many addresses as you wanted to send junk mail. |

Round here, Cable London pulled out of a council estate in 1999 because after when Telewest acquired the remaining 50% of the company I imagine they would rather invest the money on upgrading the existing network instead of expanding it. Perhaps Virgin Media might use that in the future if it intends to cover your area. |

Re: Cable network map
I've never heard of that. A VM cabinet is there to serve a street. They have a CATV pit cover on the ground in fromt of them. Is that what they were?
