TalkTalk Full Fibre (Virgin Customer)

i am seriously thinking of moving to TalkTalk full fibre as virgin keep increasing my cost and at the moment it’s just not worth it.

If I get Full Fibre from TalkTalk which does not use copper network, can the engineer use the existing connection I currently use for Virgin?

if not, what’s involved in the installation and will it require additional boxes and wiring coming into the house?

Virgin use an entirely separate cable-based network, unique to them and unusable with any other provider. TalkTalk have a variety of network suppliers, although each will deliver fibre to the property in a similar way via an Optical Network Terminal, or ONT, fitted in your property. Which will require a new installation. You can find a few more details here:

Talktalk has done its deals with Openreach / City Fibre etc, which are separate from Virgin's infrastructure, @applebob86.

Whole different set up:
