OK, but how many homes, and in what areas will their FTTH pass. That question needs answering before you make a general assumption that VM's customer base will be tested to the limit.
We are talking a few years away, and personally I believe that the amount BT says it needs to spend to realise a fibre network that can compete with VM and possibly H2O seems awfully small. I don't doubt their intent, but I am wondering how much of the announcement was more for the financial markets in what is a very difficult time right now.
Don't get me wrong, if there is ever a serious competition to my very good non STM'd 20Mb service, and its competitive, then VM will have competition as far as I am concerned.

Yes, we don't, nor does BT know exactly what they may have to do when the bandwidth hogs jump ship to BT.
