Virgin dug up our village. As the houses have reasonable size plots, whilst not being at all grand, each plot got its own "terminal". Which just looks like the cover to the external water tap.

When they had finished, they did some heavy phone based selling. However, I found their sales folk to be unconvincing. Beyond the "promise" of speed, they had nothing to say. And it was no cheaper than my BT deal. And I would have to keep my BT landline. Why?? They had no idea.
I could not transfer my phone number. The same one I have used for 30 years.
Researching it a bit, Virgin have some very bad reviews about repairing front gardens during their installations.
So I'm still with BT. Getting about 35mbps at peak times. Even when our grown up children are here, they can't use up all that 35mbps. It is a pain ringing up each year and telling BT that I am going to leave them, until their price is lowered yet again.
