If you want to get pedantic, I dare say there are parts of the network using other media, but the basic idea of a CABLED network is simply that.
It's cabled.
Some cable would be fibre, some would be coax.

I dont see the benefit in going in depth with how a cable network works (esp. one as complicated as Virgin, who took over from ntl / telewest, who took over from Anglia / East Coast cable)

However, if you are being pedantic about "DSL is used over a cabled network" then you are just picking an argument for the sake of it. My post was simple & concise and was only to shed some light on which modem / router combo might be best for a given customer.
