Making great progress in broadening this build. Already been expanded in scope a couple of times.

VM are, without question, serious about this project.

Re: How big are VM's infills?
 

They certainly are, I've seen/heard where they plan on in my franchise, and it shall be a whole lot bigger than it currently is.

Having a friendly council helps a ton. They're being pretty co-operative.

Great news for the city.

Re: How big are VM's infills?
 

So is this something different to the roll out you've been describing in your posts?

Re: How big are VM's infills?
 

Nope, I have been talking about the Middleton build.

There's Virgin network expansion in Glasgow south side. Network being expanded from Speirsbridge Roundabout up to a newer housing estate that wasn't there when it was first built.
Now only about 200 metres from my parents house where they are building ~200 new houses and about 100 social housing. There is cable up the road and now just a bit down the road from them. Infill chances?

Re: How big are VM's infills?
 

The new houses would be extremely likely

Only if VM have the tender to provide services there of course. VM can't build on unadopted roads without the developer's consent so if they aren't involved from the beginning it might have to wait until the roads are adopted.

Belle Isle next. Just as well these guys work in teams ;)

Just had confirmed today that VM aren't building on the unadopted roads here unless something changes, and the emails they sent out to people indicating they were in the plans were in error, so adoption status is definitely a thing.

More small infill starting to crop up. Devon this time.

Mulberry close Paignton. Lay 320m of ducting & associated chambers.

Re: How big are VM's infills?
 

I can see a bunch of small

Small-ish

And not so small infill in progress.

All over the place.

The budget per home passed being raised from £300 to somewhere between £500 and £750 has brought a lot of properties very close to existing network into plan.

Good.

Entries on roadworks refer to FTTH install, so looks like its not HFC.

Re: How big are VM's infills?
 

Correct it is FTTH
