AFAIK Virgin's network is fibre to street whether as most other offers are based on fibre only to the street cabinet. Latter is all we have here and whoever's shopfront we buy it from it's provided by BT.
The fibre/cabinet infrastructure was part funded by local government as part of rural improvement initiative. The cabinets are new with forced air ventilation etc.
We still have our landline from one provider, Talk Talk (was Tesco) and ADSL from Demon - now Vodafone. Just about decided to switch to an all in package with Plusnet. Don't really need fibre as we never stream films etc. Not sure it's worth the extra to download a pdf more quickly.
