Is that true for all VM cabs? I know that some aren't even fed by fibre but more coax, but is it really only one fibre at most? Surely some of the busier areas have additional capacity?

Seems from various stats posted that Virgin is attempting to improve conditions, though? This is well above my understanding of things but don't they seem to be at least attempting to clean up the network and boost things like modulation?
