We do know of some other Virgin Media street furniture but have so far been unable to find any usable pictures. 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. 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. Council chiefs said communication companies including Virgin Media do not require planning permission to install the boxes. Spotted some of our street equipment that's in need of some TLC? We know things can happen, and we're here to help put things right.

FYI, I have not yet signed up to broadband/TV as I’m not living there currently whilst having some remedial work done first - is it worth signing up to VM first so I at least know that its working, and/or get VM in to make the changes as part of sign up (i’ll be a new customer). 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. Virgin Media offers a range of set-top boxes to suit different viewing habits and preferences. In terms of installation, if you've already got a Virgin Media broadband connection up and running, Virgin Media will simply post you the box and you can just plug it in and go. If you're new to Virgin Media it'll be set up the same day as your broadband. I would like to understand the cabling between the outside wall entry point and the internal virgin kit. Running internal cables is really tough in my house (wooden floors, not wanting surface running to spoil the decor etc) - so trying to work out which cables are needed where.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.

Autumn Statement: State pension confirmed to rise by 8.5% from April 2024 – while some benefits will go up by 6.7% In a few areas Virgin Media have deployed some specially modified cabinets that help to support a new system for charging electric cars ( here). We don’t know much about these but at present there are only a very few of them around. There are a number of different issues that can crop up in relation to your Virgin Media bill. Here are the main ones to look out for. 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.).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. The current set-top box is the Virgin TV 360 box, which is a compact and sleek device that offers seamless integration with Virgin Media's TV and broadband services. The Virgin TV 360 box supports 4K resolution and HDR content, and comes with a voice-controlled remote for easy navigation. It also offers features such as catch-up TV, on-demand content, and the ability to pause and rewind live TV. We need to know where the cabinet is; providing a street name and post code is great, pointing out any landmarks or junctions nearby will help us ensure we're reporting the correct cabinet) 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.

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). A smaller cabinet for FTTC hybrid fibre broadband services, which can handle between 96 and up to 128 ports. Obviously you’re more likely to see these around smaller communities or areas of low demand. Both employees and self-employed workers will pay less in National Insurance from next year, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced in today's Autumn Statement. A few remote rural parts of the UK were connected up via Openreach’s niche WTTC service, which is similar to their hybrid fibre FTTC (VDSL2) broadband network except that in this setup the DSLAM cabinet is fed by a Microwave (radio) wireless link instead of fibre optic cable.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.
