Virgin Media upgrade works taking months

    So I'm hoping someone can shed some light here for me.

    Virgin Media are currently upgrading the internet cabling in my area. Looks like they're installing FTTH infrastructure

    Happy days, with SIRO that'll be two fibre options and the more the merrier

    Here's the thing, they've been installing the cabling for months now. Pretty sure they started before Christmas and there's no sign of them being done


    I live in a big enough estate, maybe 1500 houses so I imagine it's a pretty large job. There were some trenches dug in some bits, presumably for new ducting, but it's not like they're tearing up entire roads


    When SIRO came in they were in and out in less than a month. Why is it taking Virgin so long?

    Is there more works needed generally? Or is every fibre optic cable lovingly handcrafted to ensure the absolute best quality?

    Or are the installers paid by the hour and want to keep the job going as long as possible? 😂
