Where with NTL it's fiber to the large green boxes (the ones that have whirring fans and backup batteries within) and then coaxial cable for the last few metres, via the smaller green neighourhood boxes, which unfortunatly vandals target thinking they can get free TV if they start swapping over connections.
Luckily where I live this vandalism problem does not manifest itself.
