Meanwhile the work in <strong>York<\/strong> has already begun and is expected to be completed during 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The operator&#8217;s press release states that their roll-out in the city will use &#8220;<em>fibre optic<\/em>&#8221; technology, although Virgin have a poor history with this terminology and thus it could just as easily mean hybrid-fibre coax rather than the superior <strong>Fibre-to-the-Premise<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) service. In fact they usually state FTTP when it&#8217;s involved, but this time they don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Karen Ingham, VM&#8217;s Regional Director for the North East, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s official \u2013 York has struck broadband and entertainment gold!
