Unlike BT, Virgin doesn't need FTTH to obtain high speeds.

Unlike BT, Virgins fibre network runs up to very close to the property already within a few hundred metres as opposed to a couple of km in the case of BT.

Theoretically you can speeds of 250mbs over copper.

This is just a headline winning exercise by BT after Virgin announced their "achievable to most customers" 50mbs, BT have decided to announce their "achievable to 2 cats and a dog in ebbsfleet" 100mbs.
