Are you suggesting that VM may call their hybrid network fibre but Sky and BT may not? The others followed VM's lead.

The images are wrong from the start as it says cable is a superior technology. DOCSIS has a lot of limitations and VM's network is more susceptible to things like congestion at local nodes compared to Openreach based fibre which has so many Gigabit links or something from the cabinet. Then there is upload speeds where VM is far inferior. The only thing they have is top download speed over FTTC really.
