The network exists around Canaray Wharf,However,NTL pulled out of residential services and the housing estates for some reason. Apparently the cost of upgrading the network for Digital TV would be costly.

I know for a fact that Virgin/NTL Telewest Business phone is still active in that area,perhaps its for the existing businesses.

What I suggest you do, is write to Virgin Media together with a sort of petition of all the residents and also businesses that want Virgin Media services, Virgin Media will be particularly interested in those taking all 3 services.

With regards to your property already having coax cable fitted,that is probably for a communal satellite dish or aerial. However it doesn't cost much to cable a building,it's expensive when they have to dig up and lay cable.

So what I suggest you do now, is write to Virgin Media with your ideas and don't forget to include a list of all those wanting Virgin Media.
