I said it was more stable, not that it's 'better'. That's an entirely subjective measure.
Virgin didn't deploy ADSL because they'd have had to deploy a similar network to the one BT have built with DSLAMs in cabinets which wasn't feasible. Virgin's telco network is multiplexed in the field so adding xDSL to the mix would require cabinet hardware.
It was, more than once, considered however it cannot match the access network capacity of a DOCSIS 3 cable network with the current technology available.
