Remember the past with telewest (only broadband) there is no problem and never had any single UBR problem in uk until virgin media take over and then sell as both broadband tv services and look what happen now ?? too many problem with tv and broadband ongoing.
Do you think two seperator cables will fix the problem easy ?

The congestion issues are nothing at all to do with the capacity of the fibre between the nodes and hubsites / headends.
Without being rude I'd strongly suggest that you learn the technology -

While you're at it I have no idea where you get that Telewest never had uBR problems, they had more than ntl did, and I have no idea where you had the idea that Telewest didn't sell TV pre-Virgin Media.
Either way the two are in no way related at all.

But once the analogue is gone there is plenty of bandwidth the play with.

The other minor issue is that even the newest modem VM have offers 204Mbit maximum downstream to however many people are sharing it, which at the moment is thousands to each bonded group.
