Do you think two seperator cables will fix the problem easy ?

The cables that connect your house to the UBR are not fibre they are copper coaxial. They existing cable are more than capable of providing 200meg+ broadband speeds (broadbandings will no doubt know the actual figure) Your knowledge of the network architecture is obviously limited as the bottlenecks are mostly at UBR level and are due to over-subscription, something that was a trait of both NTL and Telewest before the merger.
The underlying technology is very capable (even the legacy DOCSIS 1.0 network can provide faster speeds than is used) and the reason the network has issues is down to capacity.
