yeah, as Pip said they are chalk and cheese. If you have broadband from Virgin you'll have a coax cable running from the cabinet all the way into your flat. There might be some trunking going on along the way where connections from other flats join the line but it will be a coax cable all the way to the cabinet and then fibre takes over later on. If you are using a phone line for your internet connection you are not touching VM's network and are going over openreach.
