Same here, but 40/10 and Virgin have fibred the whole village, to
every door. 40/10 does more than I need, my copper at 15/5 did more
than I needed.
Virgin have failed here in North Staffordshire. If you put the post code
in they say we have it. But in fact it stops a few houses down, they
have no intention of expanding it, sadly.

You may find that the take-up of Virgin fibre (for phone/TV/Internet)
hasn't necessarily been that great in areas where its already in the
pavement outside peoples homes. I keep getting bombarded with offers
saying I could save perhaps £400 on their usual prices for the first 2
years but for me it isn't a saving - I don't watch sport and get TV via
aerial and dish (Freeview/Freesat) and my Internet is fast enough with
fibre to the local cabinet.
