How would that work then?

I thought that ADSL is a point to point technology i.e you have the only line into the exchange

Cable is a shared service - even if you put seperate equipment in all users would still have to share the frequency bandwidth in an area

So even if be had better backhaul than Virgin (which isn't the issue anyway) there would still be capacity issues
