Re: How does Virgin's Fiber network work?

The drop cable from, let's call it the DP because some are underground, to the premises shouldn't be shared. It does happen though. Any "bottle neck" won't be due to the coax. The difference between the different coax that vm use are purely distance related not capacity related. The way to overcome utilisation issues are as some people on the forum call it "splitting the node". Which is kind of correct. Basically the more UBR ports that a node can use the more capacity. There are many ways of doing that, and I'm aware of a few different ways. But as a business VM will be looking at the cheapest and most efficient way of doing that. Without going into too much detail, I imagine fibre will be going deeper into the network. As I'm not sure what is and isn't open knowledge I'll leave it there
