Information.
 

I am new to the forum but have been a cable customer for over 12 months now. By and large things have gone pretty well and we have been more or less happy with the service that we have had ie. phone, broadband and t/v.

I am a bit of an inquisistve type however and am always wondering `how things work'? What I cant seem to find anywhere on the Virgin website (or elsewhere for that matter) is a general description of how their infrastruture etc works.

I know the cable runs from the street into our house, but what happens then ? I was aware that before when we had internet down the phone line it went to our phone exchange and then went onto a high speed link to the internet - but where do things go and come from now? Can anybody point me in the right direction?

A reasonable description and diagram on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_fibre-coaxial.
