Hi folks,Just seen this on The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/08/vm_cornwall/
It seems that Virgin Media are also trialling fibre to the cabinet in Higher Pill, Saltash.
Might be of some interest to some of the folks in Cornwall. It seems that Virgin have had another company lay some fibre (presumably from the exchange to the cabinet) and Virgin will be installing VDSL2+ to give up to 50Mbit/sec broadband.
Not only would this mean faster speeds, but also the possibility of getting TV services from Virgin too.
Maybe this might mean that long term, Virgin may start to expand their network using technology other than cable and actually offer some competition to BT in non-cable areas.
