At the moment, I've got FTTC broadband at approx 22-24MB - not bad, but not great.
It turns out, we may have Fibre cables laid under our road already, as a neighbour mentioned Nynex laid fibre optical cables a long time ago on our street. Nynex disappeared and from what I understand, NTL, then Virgin Media took over.
According to Virgin Media I'm unable to get their service (yet), but it looks like we've got some of the infrastructure here already. There's a Nynex box just outside my house.
I tried contacting VM, but got no useful response about this, just that they're considering rolling out to our area.
Does anyone know what VM did with the old Nynex infrastructure? I've had a search and some people who already had the service are currently on VM, but there's nothing about areas where people have Nynex infrastructure, but it's not in use.
