I'm so tired of this. Those of us who know even just a little bit about broadband know that a twisted pair cable with a VDSL modem isn't fibre. We also know that coaxial cable running DOCSIS is not fibre. Yet i've just had a lovely conversation with Virgin Media online chat.
So they advertise their "Vivid 350" as "optical fibre". So I asked, hoping it was true if they would install a fibre optic cable directly to my house... not a copper coaxial cable ... and they said YES!!! they said they would install fibre optics....
Are these people deliberately misleading us? Did the guy know nothing? Did he think he could just say to a network engineer that coaxial cable is fibre ???!
This has to stop. Can I sell you my VW and call it a ferrari ?
I wasn't intentionally trolling the guy, I honestly thought they had brought out an actual fibre based product... so I asked... and I was lied to.
