And also in my area a Telewest/Cable London area, NTL had a manhole cover and some sort of cabinet with the NTL logo and a contact number on the side, that was quite a few years before the merger, so NTL had a national infrastructure before any mergers took place. Round the corner from there, NTL Broadcast had an office there, although the logo was replaced with Arquiva following the takeover.
City centre in Liverpool is business telephones only as it feeds the business district.

Oh right, I've noticed some Virgin Media cabinets in the shopping area. So there is no cable TV/broadband service? Just phones?

Yeah, for the most part. I've visited the business telco exchange in the city.

Didn't realise VM had separate telephone exchanges. I always thought that the signal from the copper telephone lines gets transferred onto the VM fibre network in a street cabinet, which would then go to a headend such as Bromborough.

Also, seeing as you're (fairly) local do you have any idea where the Bromborough headend is?

Re: Cable network map

regarding the pics of cabinets with no apparent services to the home these are probably (as has been said previously) whats known as 'stranded plant'.
the duct is in, the tees to the houses may well be in, but theres no trunk feeder cable or 50pr telephony cable pulled to cabinets and indeed no furniture inside the cabinets to which to terminate the cables onto.
however there is a dept within VM who will cost out areas such as these (hard works been done because the ducting is down) so theres every chance places like these would get a budget to activate them.
make enough noise on the cable my street website and they may take an interest.
as regards the ducting not serving resedential subs but going through towns and such,i live in a row of 4 houses (at No3), a VM duct runs past the gable end of No1 but it only carries the fibre between the hubsites at bolton and blackburn! so no cable for me

It's not traffic shaped... it has a fault fix time of 4 hours if you need an engineer.

Baguley is your regional headend but Bromley is your National headend.
