Set off for a walk this morning and noticed 5 workmen clustered around a hole. Manhole cover was up, and I saw they were pulling cables through… So I asked them what it was for – and it seems they were pulling cables for Virgin Media! High speed internet is on its way to Greno at last! Not that it affects me, really, as I have National Broadband 5G, and Virgin are crap for customer service. But it’s a start, and hopefully Openreach will get their arses in gear, too.
Virgin do seem to offer lots of different speed deals: M250 is the nearest to my NB, and a bit cheaper; but they go all the way up to 1Gb for £40+ a month, which sounds good. Anyway, it’ll be some time before there’s a live Virgin service up here, I imagine. Just nice to know that Greno has not been forgotten!
