You are pretty much correct in what you have posted but, the speeds delivered via coax cable don't drop the same as twisted pair (Openreach).

That is why VM have consitantly delivered higher speeds than other ISP's using the Openreach network.

Add to that the effects of crosstalk on Openreach cabinets and in the ideal world VM will be miles better.

Now the bad side.

VM are very slow when upgrades are necessary to solve capacity issues in certain areas but not others, it's very much hit and miss.
