The exact opposite of the truth. Thicker cables have lower bandwidths. But they also have lower resistance and thus lower loss.

I guess they got bored of yelling "fibre optic" when people wised up to the fact their competitors had just as much if not more "fibre optic".
In respect of broadband, it's the
type of cable making the difference, not the thickness. Coaxial and twisted pair are completely different types of cables.
I haven't seen the ad but I suspect it'd fail to mention VM's "thicker" cable gets shared between *cough* hundreds of *cough* users.
