I know they have said they are rolling out fibre in certain area's but the coverage will be nothing compared to Virgin's potential market. And lets remember folks that DOCSIS 3 can provide a symetrical 100mbps (or more!) link should VM ever decide to launch it.
DOCSIS 3 is the key!

1)They are not rolling out docsis3, it's predocsis3, there is a difference (albeit not much)
2)They cant afford to rollout docsis3, they hit their budget and went straight over it within a month
3)It's going to take 2-3 years to fully roll out docsis3 as half of the network needs a complete overhaul.
4)As for BT, well, alot you dont know about that
5)Yes, docsis3 can provide 100Mbit symetrical, providing the network is in good shape, you dont over subscribe AND you have good network link ups, which VM do not, they are only just upgrading to 40G link ups, poor and will need upgrading yet again in the future.
6)50MBit is set to launch with STM, they are just undecided on the limits, are you seriously going to pay a high price for a premium product which your only allowed to use for 20 minutes?
Then there is the poor upload rates which they are going to supply with it, making them have the worst down/up ratio in the whole of the UK!
