You know that the USA has much higher cable coverage than we do. The first country to describe cable as fibre optic would be the UK, USA followed suit.

The Advertising Standards Authority are a waste of time, they appear to think that cable signals magic their way into the home. These are the guys who believe that electrical signals would rather go along steel than copper. You'll have BT advertising fibre optic broadband shortly too even though it's copper wire that comes into the house.
