It’s hard to implement stuff like this in certain parts of the country such as Cornwall, where there’s often only one road connecting towns – council directives state that one access point has to be open for traffic to get through, and so running cables etc is a logistical nightmare.

Many Cornish residents have only been able to get Sky TV in their homes because there’s never been a proper cable deployment in that area, and the signal isn’t strong enough for Freeview.

I agree with you though, I’d like to see cable made available to more households. Maybe Virgin will do a wholesale deal with those chaps from H20 Networks in the future.

Virgin Media are potentially losing Millions of pounds to Sky and BT if they don’t get their act together. Someone from Virgin Media needs to take notice of this, but they don’t seem to care, and are just focusing on upgrading the speed of their existing networks.
