Own cables nothing to do with virginI'm up at the end of March and have been told that virgin are now available in my area after many years because they use the Openreach cables to get to my property. It does still require an ugly grey box outside of the house and it's not particularly small.
I'm on 200mb with Vodafone and it's been working fine but I think I might be tempted by the Virgin 1gb for not a lot more as an introduction offer.
Do these new alternatives such as grain, Youfibre, Hyperopic etc install their own cables? Or are they leasing virgin access? I suppose I wonder how realistic it is to expect there to be some proper competition in the coming years, given its taken until 2023 to get access to virgin.
Any thoughts?
