Same in our area B67. Virgin dug up pavements, laid their cables and left them in a right mess. They installed a cabinet outside someone's house which I guess is the focal point for the road's connection. So far no one has taken up their offer.
I was then bomarded with Virgin junk mail and even one guy demanding to know why I wouldn't change and wanted to know who my current provider is. He also pointed out how ugly satellite dishes looked. I pointed out that if he had a dish on top of his head he'd look ugly!!
