It is no more "Fibre" than VM's fibre-optic service. In neither case does fibre go beyond the cabinet or into the home.
VM have a shielded coax cable with several gigabits of capacity but that capacity is shared between dozens to hundreds of homes, BT use a copper cable with ~100mbps of capacity to each individual home.
VDSL is a connection type specifically designed for phone lines, using an existing phone line for it isn't ruining anything.
No new cables need to be installed for BT Infinity.
Mind you I have seen properties around here (even 5 floor high ones) with VM cable chucked over the roof and back down to the other side. |
I was wondering specifically about the internal cabling which is quite different to Virginmedia internal cabling as to its ability to provide the speeds advertised.
Is it really capable if so that is quite good on that type of cabling.
