I have just had an upgrade to m350 fibre optic, does this mean VM will run a fibre optic cable into my house to replace the old copper cable.

No they won't, the existing copper coax cable is more than capable of running at 350 Mb/s. In reality, the term 'fibre broadband' is a bit vague and tends more to a marketing strategy rather than any technical differences.

Even in VMs "Full Fibre" areas, services revert to coax in the property as all VMs equipment works off of coax, even for the 1Gb services.

DOCSIS 3.1 over coax can go up to 10G, download and 2G upload.
