When they upgrade HFC areas will the V6/360 boxes been unusable? 

I was under the impression when they switch over to Fibre everything still works? Or are you referring to new areas that have no existing HFC network ?

Yes - V6 / 360 boxes cannot be used over FTTP connections.

i'm not 100% sure if coaxel is deffo removed or left in place for TV. However, as it stands if the coaxel is removed / deactivated, your V6 / 360 boxes will not work.

You are offered stream boxes instead.
