Virgin recently ran fibre round the village and left little plastic

BT is fibre to the nearest (green) box in the street. Whereas before it
may have been wire to the exchange which for many people would have been
Km long and which were possible installed 50+ years ago its now fibre to
the nearest box with only the bit between the box and house being wire.
