cpc28-sutt4-2-0-cust[number].19-1.cable.virginmedia.com
CPC - Ignore the first C; PC means that your modem has been assigned a public address. Had you been able to capture the host name during modem activation (whilst unactivated), it would have reas something else - possibly CUR

28 - This means that your IP address is from the 28th subnet range of addresses allocated to this UBR interface

SUTT4 - is the 4th UBR at Sutton Coldield (I'm on RDG24)

2-0 is historic and of no significance

CUST123 - says you're #123 in your subnet

19 says that your DHCP server is #19 at cable.virginmedia.com

1 says that your TFTP server that downloads the firmware (e.g.) is #1 at cable.virginmedia.com

The above AFAIK. Good luck with learning about of HFC works!!
