But that's not how business works. Long term costs and short term costs have to be balanced.
Long term Virgin want to get everyone onto TiVo
Short term if they did so in one go it they would be paying for equipment and not seeing a revenue benefit so would damage the companies finances

If everyone was on DOCSIS 3 kit then it could save on engineer call out visits if someone upgrades as there really isnt a need most of the time for an engineer to go there to "Check power levels" when that can be done by the tech on the line and also save as u wouldnt have to issue a second piece of kit.

Again, that's a long term aim.
Short term, Virgin obviously see a benefit to the business of tech install only for 50Mbit and 100Mbit
