    VM cable is fibre-optic only to the cabinet, then conventional copper from there to the home.

    Always did wonder what was laid to each house and from where all those years ago!

    I have set up large fibre optic data networks where the spur to each building on a campus is still a fibre optic pair (then copper to the desktop from the switching gear).

    Where do the VM folk physically house and terminate the fibre optic kit? Do they then run copper to each house from that point?

    TIA
