Virgin Media Network in a new build estate

Hey, is there anyway to know what network VM have installed in a newsite? They have the same grey street furniture as other areas, but surely in a new development in a major town, they'd go and put FTTP in rather than their Coax? Premise is pre ducted to the wall thankfully.

Your estate is covered by VM if you see CATV legend on street lids.

.. and, yes, new build is usually fibre.  Is there a concern?

The standard new area connection is currently RFoG (Radio Frequency over Glass). The fibre terminates at your front wall where an ONT converts everything to copper coax for distribution to Virgins cable kit within the home.
