That's totally inaccurate, it's not end to end fibre at all, there's still a fair bit of copper there in between you and the fibre optic node.
There's also some signal loss there too, unless Telewest have figured out how to make copper super-conduct.
Although I do kinda get what you are saying, but both are subject to signal loss faults. In theory cable is the better medium of the two, here's hoping our cable company actually starts taking proper advantage.
Those Telewest prices on the Supreme package are outstanding though, I wonder how they are able to deliver Sky Sports / Movies for £17.50 a month...
Internet broadband elite up to 10Mb
Digital TV Supreme Package TV Drive
Phone Talk Unlimited
£70.50 Total monthly cost
Unless they are getting Sky's channels cheaper than Sky are this is a nice loss leader and excellent value!
