Instead most residents have been getting broadband via the remote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>-based <strong>Papworth St Agnes<\/strong> exchange and some should just be within reach of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But the new development, which is trialling <strong>narrow-trenching<\/strong> to reduce the width of the trench used to lay fibre optic cables (from 40cm down to just 10cm), means that <strong>100 homes<\/strong> in the village will now be able to order a new Gigabit broadband connection using <strong>Fibre-to-the-Home<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>) technology.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently this trenching method, which sounds a lot like the more familiar &#8220;<em>micro-trenching<\/em>&#8221; approach that BTOpenreach and others sometimes use, can cover twice as much ground each day (around 100 metres) and saves roughly 33% on the usual cost of network expansion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Paul Buttery, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a>\u2019s Chief Customer, Networks and Tech Officer, said: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Virgin Media continues to push the boundaries of broadband, launching the UK\u2019s first superfast service in 2008 and boosting Virgin Media homes yet again with 152Mb broadband launched this year.

Virgin Media\u2019s continued investment in the expansion of their network, together with Government\u2019s own rollout of superfast broadband to rural areas, is already playing a significant role in driving the UK\u2019s economic growth<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s of course not the first time that Virgin Media have conducted trials of pure fibre optic connectivity, with their earlier developments in <strong>Woolhampton<\/strong> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/story\/2010\/03\/11\/uk-isp-virgin-media-trials-ultrafast-broadband-and-tv-via-telegraph-poles.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #227ab4;\">here<\/span><\/a>) and <strong>Crumlin<\/strong> coming to mind. But the former was four years ago and since then Virgin Media has tended to focus on development of their DOCSIS3 (EuroDOCSIS) based hybrid fibre, coax and copper &#8220;<em>cable<\/em>&#8221; network.<\/p>\n<p>The trial also follows hot on the hells of Virgin Media&#8217;s new plan to cover an additional<strong> 100,000 premises<\/strong> in East London (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/08\/cable-operator-virgin-media-slows-reach-4-5m-broadband-users.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #227ab4;\">here<\/span><\/a>). But at present it&#8217;s still too early to say whether the latest trial will result in an expanded deployment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a> by Virgin Media. Certainly it seems unlikely that Virgin would move to replace their existing cable infrastructure anytime soon, although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a> could certainly help to reach new premises.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile locals can expect to be contacted by Virgin Media sometime &#8220;<em>over the coming weeks<\/em>&#8220;. At 100 homes it&#8217;s clear that the service won&#8217;t reach everybody, but then it is just a trial. A spokesperson for the operator has also advised us that customers in the area will get a slightly different package and price to reflect the new capabilities, which should be unveiled once eligible locals have been contacted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 4:38pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Virgin Media has confirmed that they also intend to connect the majority of Papworth to their cable network and 152Mbps broadband.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virgin Media has today confirmed our report from last month and said they&#8217;re teaming-up with the John Henry Group to trial a new fibre optic based narrow-trenching deployment technology in the large village of Papworth Everard, which resides near the city of Cambridge (England).
