Totally agreed!

Fibre Broadband

Discuss fibre optic broadband including Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH aka FTTP) and Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) in here. FTTB which is generally used for flats and apartments also has a home here.

I don't see a problem.

One of them eight days ago contains this gem:-

...
with more content now available it's becoming harder and harder for network providers to manage contention and hence the lack of unlimited products these days

Preceded by "I've worked in the industry for a long time ...".

I currently have ADSL Max with a speed around 6 Mbps, once FTTC is enabled I should get the full speed of 76 Mbps.. that is a huge difference.

I must admit, thinking about it a while, the OP does have a point.... to a degree. After all the likes of VM call their service, cable...which it is.

And going along the same lines..........

I currently have ADSL Max with a speed around 1.47 Mbps (on a good day), once FTTC is enabled it will not make one blind bit of difference to me. Being so far from the cabinet it might as well as be on the moon.

And I wonder if we will ever enter the same realms that we have with the banks and PPI.........

miss sold a fibre connection, that wasn't? Claim.............. I can see it now! Welcome to the brave new world

In reference to store.virginmedia.com/discover.html:

Superfast fibre optic broadband with speeds up to 152Mb.

Fixed that for you

If VM is cable then so is ADSL. So is dialup.

The original post in this thread is clearly ridiculous as pointed out by others but I do wonder whether this forum should be split into two - a "Superfast 'Fibre'" forum and a "Fibre to the Premises" forum. This would help separate these two distinct topics and would hopefully not be confusing for new users. When you're interested in FTTP, the majority of posts in the current fibre section are not relevant

Don't they all have fibre backhaul?

They also all have copper cable, including FTTP .

U must be joking? FTTP should be Fibre all the way to the premise from the exchange?
