Isn't this the same thing that Virgin is using in the UK?

Vigin has been laying down fibre optic cables yes... they don't currently offer any more than 100Mb/s for average customers though. The infrastructure is going to be there to supply Gb connections at least (assuming you have fibre cabling all the way up to your house, rather than just the trunk line in the street... I would presume when it's possible to get 1Gb plans they have to come out and change the connecting cable)

BT is also laying fibre cables I think (BT infinity is advertised as fibre optic anyway)
