I've seen equipment in BT exchanges labelled as Virgin Media, the label is placed on top of another that says NTL though obviously in other areas this would be different. They aren't DSLAMs. It just seems odd that they wouldn't just take the POTS stuff back to the hubsite and then connect into BT's network from there.

One I'm thinking of in particular runs from the BT exchange (I've not seen any equipment in that exchange with a VM label on it) right down to the little council estate in the small town, nowhere near any businesses. The council estate is the only cabled part of the town. The town is linked to the rest of the VM network via a duct running along country roads a few miles to where the hubsite is.
