Basically, everything is the same except rather than the RF conversion happening in the hub for a given area, it happens later on outside your house.

Yes that is correct. So what you're saying is VM provide battery back up at the customer end? The only ones I've seen are power fed via the coax, but then since I'm no longer a network engineer I'm probably a bit behind with some of the unreleased stuff so may not have seen it. Even if VM provide some sort of battery pack to keep the optical to RF conversion up, it won't powering the modem so doesn't make a difference
