Fibre optic broadband is better than ADSL (FACT)

Now here the part to remember, Virgin Media don't run there network correctly as it has coax and copper also which means it isn't a true fibre optic network, so they have some of the same issues as ADSL has which is congestion, if Virgin ran the network correctly they would split the nodes up to lessen the load on the network they would have spent more time on the DOCSIS 3.0 network plus they would make sure the UBR's are upgraded before they become overloaded.

So at the moment ADSL can in some areas be better than Fibre optic/copper/coax/VM connection
