It's just like all this Virgin 'fibre' bollocks. Yes, the backbone may be fibre but a network is only really as strong as the slowest point, I.E. the coax (Coax, I mean, WTF?) going into the house or the cheap asss router that they supply.

Then they're gunna take it into some shite wank Wanlee wireless router with 54MBPS wireless... when will they learn? 
Can you tell I'm a bit pissed with BB companies at the moment? They amount of bollocks they feed you is out of this world. I've even had a few hang up on me after I told them I work in Infrastrutre and I'm a trained Cisco engineer.

It's FTTC, so it's fibre to cabinet and the last ~100m (usually less) is coax. And you're correct, a network is only as strong as the slowest point, but coax is still capable of Gbit so it'll be a while before it becomes the slow point
