Is this the start of VM's local roll out to Broadstairs, Ramsgate & Margate?

Edited to add more locations

NewtronStar:
Was VM given a slap on the jaw by over estimating there roll out a few weeks ago even here the rumors of VM being scheduled was rife, they call it fake news these days.

Yep. The recent story is nothing to do with these, and roadworks being scheduled are not 'fake news'. That referred to incomplete builds, not completely phantom ones.

Better still, the dimensions of those cabinets indicate FTTP :)

Hopefully this might be working in 18 months when my contract with TalkTalk expires. Be good to have some real competition.

Ronski:
Exactly what I was thinking Stuart.

How many of those carbs do they need to cover an area? As at the moment there's only a few showing over the entire area.

I presume being fttp. It shouldn't suffer with congestion?
