Which is how it's going to work for all current infrastructure, only new builds will get FTTH.
So for countryside area's they -may- see the upt "20mbit" speeds of adsl+2, wont be seeing 40-60mbit.
Towns/Cities will see 40-60Mbit though i feel this is somewhat lacking and is going backwards, they need to be offering 100Mbit symetrical speeds really, though as i'm sure your aware, they are only going to offer 2Mbit upload.

VM's network was built with private money. VM is not a monopoly provider or a dominate provider in any field, so OFCOM has no powers to demand that VM's network be opened up to other players.

They have bought out practically every cable company possible leaving them as the only provider and if your in a place where your very far from the exchange your stuck with VM, that my friend, is a monpoly.
And yes, OFCOM do actually have powers to make them open up the network, thus VM's response to this today.
From what i know there is actually a slight chance of this happening as VM have too much of a monopoly in the UK now being the only cable provider.
