Well, the Virgin engineer has just been and checked it all out. He says he has never seen anything like it in his life and can't understand how the coax could burn like that. Incidentally, the cable is also burnt down by the tee connection outside as well!

He is going to file a report with his boss about it. The internet and phone are back up after he replaced the bad cable and connections. All be it the Internet is only running at 1.54 Mbps when it is usually around 19 Mbps. TV is still not working, very blocky and glitchy. He said that the signal coming in is extremely low. Another engineer is going to have a look at the local virgin distribution to see what is going on tomorrow morning. I suspect it also got fried by the power drop.
