Of course, as a non-technical punter, I am particularly interested in when Virgin will throw the switch on all this new fibre and give us a symmetrical fibre service. I understand that it is also to do with the kit at nodes and at the VHUB, what is installed and how it is configured. This takes time and cash to modify. However, surely we cannot be far off the dream scenario in those areas that are having coax replaced by fibre.

15-20+ years at a minimum. Docsis 3.1 means that won't be needed for a fair while yet, otherwise the HFC network wouldn't be overbuilt where newer kit is needed (for more RF spectrum)
