All rather exciting but a tad difficult to objectively differentiate the marking spin/hyperbole from the technical reality!
Can't see VM even entertaining any pilots until BT Infinity start cramping their style further in next couple of years time!

One can only hope! If it's a supply and Demand thing, then I'd like to think that LibGlobal will make it worth their while. Ordering a bunch of equipment for one ISP, even one the size of Virgin, is one thing but for an ISP the size of LibGlobal? I guess it depends on how they run their franchises as well but fingers crossed.
Do you really expect to see a DOCSIS 4, though? Seems as though the next logical step would be to start finding cheaper ways of deploying FTTP.
