Network extensions in current cable areas are 'classic' HFC. It's new network areas that are FTTP.

RFoG is being used currenting in the FTTP areas to ensure consistency with the TV / Broadband services.
I'm sure if / when Virgin Media need EPON for their residential services, they'll use it. But it's not currently required.
