Actually it all depends what you mean by Fibre to the Home.
Virgin have started network additions using FTTH technology.

The main advantage for this currently is that it allows less disruption during the build, as the full fibre install allows for narrow trenching.
These installs include a Fibre to Coax box at each house (basically a smaller version version of what other areas have further 'upstream' in a street cabinet), and the internal install is still currently coax. This allows for the same broadband and TV kit to be installed as any other Virgin Media area.
