cloudjuice   10 #1 Posted October 5, 2009 I'm looking to move house and it seems that every time I find a suitable flat it's just not in a cabled area. Where is cabled in Sheffield? We'd need the cable broadband for a variety of reasons, and really it's a deal breaker when it comes to moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

paeony   10 #7 Posted October 5, 2009 I'm not aware of any flats being cabled up.  In fact, I'm fairly sure that there are no flats cabled up as I live in one, and I asked Virgin if there were any plans to extend their service and the answer was no.

Thanks, I stand corrected.  Virgin told me that it wasn't worth their while cabling up flats as very few people had taken up.

nerd   10 #10 Posted October 5, 2009 I have a friend in a flat up firth park and she has cable. But I don't think they have it in firvale - didn't when I lived there but maybe they do now. Possibly around barnsley road has it, maybe they put some in when they dug all the road up last year? there are some new flats up near lane top, perhaps they have it?

Longcol   597 #11 Posted October 5, 2009 Really? Thanks, I stand corrected. Virgin told me that it wasn't worth their while cabling up flats as very few people had taken up.  I think Netherthorpe was cabled up over 15 years ago in the days of good old Yorkshire Cable - same as where I live Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Dizzyblonde   10 #12 Posted October 6, 2009 Its fairly easy to tell, they made such a mess of the pavements and roads you can still follow the path and you get little triangle things outside the properties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
