I'd be interested to know if they'll run fibre to say a village centre and then unbundle a cabinet (bit like what they're doing in Saltash) and maybe supply wireless to maybe the odd few properties who are a bit too far away.Where I live there are probably hundreds of properties that are two or three miles from the nearest cabinet (where "cabinet" might actually be the exchange). The ground is far too undulating for point-to-point wifi connections to be that great, either. Some places will just be absolute pigs to get decent bandwidth to. Perhaps they'll just have to run fibre to every house :) James
Maybe, I guess 2 to 3 miles you're still going to get slower speeds.The other option Virgin were looking at was putting their own poles up, I presume putting a pole in, or re-using an existing telegraph pole is going to be cheaper than digging to lay cables.
