Cable Forum - View Single Post - Installation in a 3rd floor flat that is apparently Virgin ready, with a BT line?

I'm moving into a new flat next weekend, and have Virgin coming round during the next week to setup 50mbps broadband and a phoneline.

The flat's a fairly new build (IIRC about 2008-2010) and has a 'media panel' on the wall which has two Sky satellite ports, 1 virgin cable port and a BT phoneline port.

Virgin ran a check and said the property was already able to receive all their services.

I was curious though- how do they work this out with the phoneline? It's a BT line. Do they do something out in the street to redirect it to their network, or will my phoneline just run over BT? I don't care either way as long as it works, but was just curious to know how they do it.
