Hmm.

Here's one for you all; does Virgin media intend to make use of Light Peak technology to increase potential network speeds? Or is there any intention of making use of fibre optic from cabinets to inside houses in the future?

I know that some of the fibre optic cables and cabinets are due replacement soon (certainly in Glasgow they are), where many of the cabinets were never installed correctly with poor sealing. Are they going to be replaced, or is ti intended to extend the network life as much as possible (i.e. minimise infrastructure investment)?
