Nope what they intend using is the old Bulldog DSL network to reach off net customers. That will have nothing to do with on net bandwidth or upgrades

This i think is the bit your on about and is clear what they intend to do.

Virgin Media said that it would offer services for the first time to the 12.5 million homes that lie outside its cable system, using a network that is expected to be supplied predominantly by Cable & Wireless. The services, which will be limited at first, will begin in April, and upgrades will follow this year.
