VM goes live with the latest XGS-PON technology today using the Nextfibre network. This looks as if it's for broadband-only customers.

Virgin installed on the street June 23, not switched on yet, will I get the XGS-POS, when it is?
I know it doesn’t work with the TV360 box, when I’m able to order will be getting Broadband & Virgin Stream

With VM's long term plan to move to XGS-PON what will happen to the boxes. For live TV it would be great if they could use the ariel to save on the bandwidth or use the existing VM cable network. Would the inbuilt tuner be able to handle both inputs? I can see this would add to the cost, but I still feel there is a place for freeview ariel as a backup.

There is nothing to stop you from having an aerial or satellite dish installed for backup, but aerials have never been part of VM's cable technology, it's not like BT TV's Box Pro and Box which have Freeview channels delivered by aerial and premium channels by broadband. VM is moving to an all-IP network, which means amongst other things that the existing boxes must be replaced as delivery will be by IPTV. One problem is that no IPTV box exists for recording and some channels do not permit live streams to be recorded.

So does this mean if we had access to the 1gig service. We should now have access to the 2gig service
