Dolphin Square Pimlico was fibre to the home as I remember.

Chrysalis, sadly that same 'everyone must be the same' attitude is what, without LLU, would have badly held back the UK. We can't all have the same. You'll probably find that ntl aren't paying much if anything for this trial, it'll be gratis based on the large amounts of cash Arris might make from ntl if it goes well and ntl start migrating from Cisco to Arris.

Again this is a TRIAL it's not a live deployment. The trial area will probably be a single node for God's sake. Can hardly extrapolate a rollout over 12 million passed homes based on a single node.

Analogue switchoff is coming. It's not as easy as flicking a switch.

Regarding that article, the telco and CATV are not fed by the same fibre. It's also not using DOCSIS 3, it's using a proprietary Arris technology.The writer of the article extrapolated to things he knows nothing about.

Ethernet over coax is one of the technologies alongside the CATV/DOCSIS approach and VDSL thats under evaluation.
