Heard this on LBC today.
'The company had wanted to site 108 FTTC (fibre-to-the-cabinet) boxes offering high-speed internet access to 34,000 addresses but was knocked back on all but 12 of these on the grounds that they were out of keeping with a borough full of “historic streetscapes and listed buildings.” '
'The company’s mood won’t have been helped by Kensington and Chelsea’s favourable comments about rival Virgin Media, which is also busy bolstering its own fibre network across the UK.'
“Virgin has been able to do this without ruining our historic streetscape. They will also consider extending to the few streets they do not already cover in the borough if demand is there.”
Ouch
