I think the cable footprint is company confidential, if it isn't I'll post a more up to date version
They removed the PDF version I posted shortly after NTL Business rebranded. Might be old, but Virgin Business are still using it as the basis for their current maps. The Cable Modem Serviceability map gives the best indication of where local cable services are in place, although having looked at it, Plymouth and Torbay have been missed off, so even this is not totally accurate.

Why does the core network spread right down through Cornwall when there is no service there?

The Virgin Media Business map isn't totally accurate. It shows a few small dots of red where there is definitely no service.

Though possibly the areas where I keep seeing Virgin Media cabinets but where you can't get TV are areas servicing Virgin Media Business cable modems only? Do such areas exist?

Re: Cable network map

The core network is used for other things other than consumer cable services.

How do you think Virgin connect to other countries. Cornwall is the hub for most of the submarine cables going to America/Africa etc.

The red dots are just there for reference in some cases.

You have to do it the long way and use the Post Code search facility online searching individual properties or contact the relevent companies.
DPA would only apply if the maps included any personally identifiable information. Postcodes, street names and house numbers may be part of your personally identifiable info, but they are not personally identifiable info themselves. Even if they were, it would not stop the companies publishing maps with no house numbers or postcodes.

The various operators may consider it confidential information, but it is not covered by the DPA.

Re: Cable network map

Some years ago, when the network guys at Telewest used to post a monthly 'blog' on engineering stuff, there used to be 'diagramatic' map which showed the core network with number of links with the speed/capacity. From memory it used to show info on the peering links to Google, BBC and the likes.

Cheers

Grim

Re: Cable network map

As well as carrying all Virgin Media services the VM Core Network provides backhaul services for other Carriers such as BT, C&W, Verizon, SSET, GEO, Orange, T-Mobile, O2, COLT, Vtesse, Abovenet, Interoute plus thousands of other large businesses.

Virgins Business is just not constrained to their cable franchise areas, their residential arm is, to some degree, but for Business, they can connect to most places in the UK.

Re: Cable network map

That is most definately correct, Virgin Media provide services for Westminster City Council, No Cable TV franchise there although, the phone network may still remain.

Also for Isle of Dogs, only the telephone network is in use around there for business,local authorities and remaining residential customers, the Cable TV service was abandoned many years ago.

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.

Yes, but none that are publicly available

Would make it too easy for competitors to target VM's customers
