I want to stay in Bournemouth and poole but there are still some roads here that dont have cable.


Thanks people.

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.

If you see a CATV,Cable and Wireless,Nynex,NTL or Virgin Media socket in the property then you can get all 3 services.

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.
