[Gllug] Broadand in London without phone land line

[John Hearns]

Regarding the Virgin fibre broadband service, what are the actual
technicalities of it?
I can't see them bringing a fibre up to every house (*) so what's the
actual path for the data?


(*) unless they use blown fibre up existing conduits. If I'm not wrong
in the early days of
broadband there were plans to use sewer pipes, which culd be a bit of
a surprise if you were on
the throne at the time.

Google confirms I am not making this up:
