NTL/UPC are recabling my area. There are replacing 30 year old coax that runs from house to house with new "cable" that runs from house to house.
What, generally, is the configuration of the cable they are installing now. Given that most of their traffic will be digital in the future, how is configured? Coax, several coax cables or what? How is it divided into segments.

Just one coax - the TV channels and your broadband/phone signal FROM UPC come down as normal on the little copper pin at the centre of the cable. The signal BACK to UPC (broadband upstream) goes up the outside of the cable, where there's copper strands coated in the plastic outside of the cable.
