Re: Virgin Media laying fibre in established VM areas?
Narrow trenching and FTTP blown fibre is cheaper to deploy than traditional dig both in the access and transit networks. Thats why the majority of build going forward will be FTTP. There will be no product difference between HFC and FTTP areas however, RFoG allows VM to leverage the current broadcast TV and broadband network that it currently uses without starting again with a full PON based architecture.

Long term strategy will have to be FTTLN to delivery Symmetrical Docsis 3.1.
