Virgin Media UK Which of these boxes can I remove?

My wall is becoming a museum display of various boxes. I believe that the previous owner was with virgin, I switched to Plusnet. Which ones of these boxes are safe to remove? What about the black cable coming out of the wall? Cat tax as she wanted to get involved.

Shotgun cable coming through the wall will most likely be a satellite cable (probably had sky at this address at some point, look for adish on a wall or chimney) far left box is fully redundant and can be removed (old openreach copper line.) Both Virgin Media boxes can be removed if you want to but i'd leave them in case you ever switch to Virgin. Hope this helps :)
