Anyone know?
VM's network is fibre as far as the big cabinets that serve whole areas of a town; these are called nodes. From the node to the local street cabinets is coaxial cable, from the street cabinets to the subscribers' houses is coaxial cable.

Sky is just playing cheeky games with VM, as is their way. You would have thought, after being ordered to sell its shares in ITV and performing a major u-turn over the Sky Basics channels, they would be a little more circumspect. But no. Idiots.
