Thanks for all the replies, so I'm assuming from what I've heard the larger cabinet is referred to as a node and basically the connection speed is limited by this and not the coax link. I also assume from what I've heard that this varies from place to place as some places are so what over subscribed, and the node can not supply the bandwidth required. Our node supplies a semi-rural village so I don't think the demand will be to bad, I don't know what the network is like in my area area code 31, and specifically Abingdon? It would appear that the network was originally built by a company called Comtel, which was then taken over by NTL.
