together (avoiding any expensive electronics), Noticed virgin media still splice the cables and connect them manually, where as the old FDDI standard had a relatively simple click method that works at higher speeds than Virgin's connections (although I'm not sure what else they put down the cable for cable TV - probably that need the better connector.
Are you talking about the Virgin residential cable that goes to each customer premises or the fibre that goes to the Virgin green cabinets?
We have Virgin cable and from the cabinet we get two cables, one coax cable (for the broadband and TV) and a phone cable (not sure how many pairs it is, I've never had reason to fiddle with the telephone point).
Not sure exactly how it works to the cabinet, I gather they have fibre to the cabinet, I also believe they have main cabinets which link back to the head end and smaller cabinets link off the big ones.
