Re: Not my expertise
Why not let Virgin(Telewest) do it instead?
Because - you said it - "in my area".
When Cabletel came to Cardiff we made use of them at work as a second source for POTS and ISDN. They cabled up most of central Cardiff and even up the valley to Pontypridd, but all the bits in between including such well-to-do commuter towns as Caerphilly were ignored. NTL took over, then Virgin, and the network - installed in the mid 1990s - has hardly changed. They just don't seem interested in expanding.
If anyone has a link to a map of Virgin's cable network I'd be very interested...
