To address the technicalities of the question, for as long as VM transmit RF over Glass (RFOG), coax and fibre behave identically at the same QAM settings.

If VM's fibre has no coax interface anywhere along the route, VM could theoretically increase the QAM for fibre blessed customers when DOCSIS 3.1 comes along; that is because there will be little if no noise induced in the fibre.

So for now, it doesn't matter. I think VM will only be forced to provide FTTH in coax areas if BT does the same.
