City Fibre

I assumed that'd likely be the case but kind of hoped CityFibre might have been able to remove the old cable & socket under licence for BT if the customer wishes, when someone upgrades to full fibre. Would have been nice to avoid another hole being drilled and cable running around the side of the house as mine is via telegraph poles.
Few more days to go thankfully as my dodgy VF issues with performance haven't improved.

Only Openreach are allowed to touch the lines it's there property.

Having the two separate networks I find is better in case people have issues it means can have a fall back you know works. (It used to be recommended to keep the openreach active until you know the cityfibre is fully working)

I understand you not wanting another hole or cable run but hole wise it's not even seen the outside and inside.

Is everything fed from telegraph poles even VM in your area?

The good thing is you can choose the location for install.

VM legally can't provide service via pole anywhere in the UK, it's a condition of the licence issued, they also can't legally bring service in from the 'rear' of the property, though the side is usually acceptable (depending on the original franchise area when the licence was issued).

An area near my parents almost all VM is fed from the rear with some being the side that area was built in 70's

It was a cable/wireless and then NTL (NTL didnt use cable&wireless ducts they run own which VM now use)

Good info to learn thanks for it didn't know vm could not use poles would this still be valid for them now moving to real fibre?

VM moving to real fibre this still apply? If so it's disadvantage for them and will force them to have to pay to use another network for the coverage.
