I find it extremely hard to accept the VM argument of "oh it costs thousands" well, if they refused to dig anywhere they would have ZERO customers.

Why do you find it hard to accept the decision? VM are
still paying off the cost of the original network build which put each and every one of the original regional companies hundreds of millions of pounds in debt. We do some small new build but usually that involves shared costs and a request from the devleloper..

I am SURE loads of people want their streets cabled, yes I accept this costs money to do, but these houses will be here for decades and that could mean decades of revenue coming in from these streets.

You have a rather simple view of these things, you would have to assume maximum take up which doesnt happen in the real world - It can take a decade of service to a number of customers to pay for the build.

So its chicken and egg situation for VM adding new streets to their network.

Not really - IPTV is going to be a big part of VM's future plans, that requires no new build but brings in additional revenue. Its a no brainer
