dlgoff - Thanks, that link, along with going through the maths, has helped clarify waveguide dispersion. A great book on the subject is Ghatak, Ajoy and K., Thyagarajan. (2000). Introduction to Fibre Optics. Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press.

I'm confused as to sources of dispersion in a fibre. Any clarification would be appreciated. Modal (Intermodal) dispersion: pulse spreading due to different group velocities of different modes in the fibre. Each mode has a slightly different n-effective hence the different Vg for each mode...
