If, as you say, the VM HFC network is on it's arse, that would mean they may need to again invest money on an alternative technology, going forward. Ditching the last leg of Copper and delivering all services through FTTH.

I agree with most of what you say, but I believe your quote should have said 'The
technology offered by VM on-net is superior to BT, and
when working correctly has superior performance'
Whilst many customers of both companies would agree that Virgins technology is more advanced than BT, what really matters to the customer is the reliability of the service.
My GF as an example moved from Virgin to BT because the Virgin internet service was so unreliable, despite the problem being at the cabinet (yes I checked myself) all they did was post her a new splitter and some cables. This was followed up by a technician, (loose use of the term) and least said the better.
Hardly the sort of service one would expect.
