Just so we're clear, Virgin offer "fibre" to the cabinet, then coax cable to the properly, they don't install fibre to your home.

Thanks everyone; I'm now a lot clearer about what Virgin do, and how they do it.

More inclined to go with FTTC with BT or one of the other providers. It is now just a matter of working out what I want, how much I'm willing to pay, and which provider to sign up with...

Neither - go with plusnet If BT is available then plusnet will be too I think. But you'll get much better customer service from Plusnet.

And if you have any specific questions about our ADSL24 Fibre packages I'm happy to advise.

Thanks
