I'd disagree with that one line... The VM HFC network provides a technically better
connection as it's not reliant on increasingly complicated methods of piggy-backing high frequency carriers on a twisted pair originally installed for carrying audio.
There's also the issue of the network being maintained by a different entity (BT Openreach) than your chosen ISP which leads to lack of accountability for fault repair to the affected customer.
However, if you have a well connected line and are close to the cabinet, then my experience agrees with others that FTTC offers a superior experience.
Of course, if VM continue to invest in network upgrades and address contention (especially upstream) then the balance may tip in their favour again...
