About this deal

Chambers and manholes come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. As such the easiest solution is for us to try and list some of the common markings and associate them to primary networks (we probably won’t get all of them due to the complex history of different networks and ownerships). I’m confident I can undertake the work myself as i’ve done a few phone extensions and rewired coax connections but wanted peoples thoughts first?

However in the very centre there’s usually a network name and that can help you to identify who owns what. One of the most common examples is when you see a chamber lid with the CATV name in the middle, which usually reflects the existence of cable TV / broadband networks like Virgin Media or WightFibre (or Telewest, NTL and Smallworld Media before them). Please ensure there is someone over the age of 18 present at the time of the visit. If you need to change or cancel your appointment you can do this online or via the MyVM app by 4pm the day before the appointment.

A smaller distribution or amplifier cabinet that is again used for either HFC or FTTP (SD1i). Such cabinets can help to serve as few as 30 homes by themselves or be used to support others in connecting up to a total of 512. One catch here is that Virgin can also use the same chassis to act as a dedicated power cabinet, such as for the next beast. Granted at a certain age saying the word “ manhole” might well have resulted in furious giggles from across the room but we older folk know better (ehumm..) and in this case we’re talking about underground chambers, which usually house all sorts of networking wonders; as well as the occasional horror. On the plus side, Virgin's cables are able to deliver quite insanely fast internet speeds and a broad range of TV services through a single discreet cable. On the negative side you have to have said cable running past your home to get it, and Virgin Media will need to drill a hole in your outer wall all the way through into your home to install your services. Autumn Statement: Workers to pay less in national insurance – but rate cuts don't offset the freezing of personal tax thresholds Hoping someone can help me with a pre-installation question. 😁 I tried Virgin Customer Services with this but they werent able to answer.

Unlike previous set-top boxes from Virgin, the TV 360 only needs a Virgin Media broadband connection either wired or over wifi. Previous boxes relied on the same coaxial cable that delivers your broadband being routed to wherever you have your TV, which could cause some installation headaches. The fact you now only need wifi makes installation of the TV 360 much, much easier. The smaller junction box on the left is often used for cable management and holding splitters in regular HFC deployments. Like the one above, this cabinet is another smaller one for FTTC hybrid fibre broadband services. The difference is that it uses hardware from ECI and can handle between 128 and up to 256 ports. If you have your landline phone contracted with Virgin Media and it's giving you problems with poor call quality, dropped calls or a dead line, there are a couple of things you can do before calling in the engineers.A spokesperson said: “Infrastructure providers, including broadband providers, have certain permitted development rights for boxes and installations. which will give you a general idea of VM fixtures and fittings. Keep in mind though, for new builds, most of this will all be built into walls when the new building is constructed.

You’ll usually find these deployed in former Exchange Only Line (EOL) areas that have been upgraded via a complex network rearrangement. In short, AIO cabinets combine both the features of a PCP cabinet above with those of the usually smaller FTTC (VDSL2) based DSLAM cabinets (i.e. phone and hybrid fibre broadband inside a single unit). Most can support 500 phone and 128 FTTC lines. Before the TiVo box, Virgin Media offered the V+ box, which was first introduced in 2008. The V+ box offered features such as pause, rewind, and record live TV, as well as the ability to store up to 80 hours of content. The V+ box also supported high-definition content and offered a range of on-demand content. Overall, Virgin Media has continually updated its set-top boxes to offer users the latest technology and features, ensuring that its customers have access to the best possible viewing experience. Take note that the murky area of infrastructure leasing adds some complication to the above picture. For example, Virgin Media appears to own its entire metro area network but they also seem to lease subduct/fibre for big chunks of their long distance links (possibly via CenturyLink). Likewise Sky is known to work with both British Waterways and CenturyLink. They don’t need planning permission but they would usually speak to the council about the installation of these boxes. However, in this case, they didn’t”, he said.

NOTE: There is also a smaller VMSD0 distribution cabinet for handling up to 16 homes but we don’t have any pictures of it, only diagrams. A typical underground chamber will usually have several markings, sometimes around the edges and usually in the centre. You’ll probably see a generic heart shaped symbol (British Standard) and various British / European standard codes like EN124 or B125 etc. None of these tell you much about what’s below, they just identify the standard of lid/chamber and what kind of environment it’s intended for (road, pedestrian etc.). A Virgin Media spokeswoman confirmed they were “looking into the complaint” and would keep the Fergusons informed of any updates.
