C4L are not a residential provider and have no interest in becoming one. Notice that the only circuits they mention are business.

Circuits will be available back to London for any ISP’s wishing to use their own bandwidth/networks. We will also be offering 100Mbps, 1000Mbps and 10GigE 1:1 to premises for Business. More details will be provided soon.

C4L will according to that offer backhaul to other ISPs but their only FTTP service will be business leased circuits.
The reference to homes was I think an example, plus it's a nice big number, 400,000 homes
EDIT: I actually suspect that C4L installed the backhaul to use i3's dark fibre for those nice profitable business services, not as part of the FibreCity residential PON deployment. I'll see if the guy I used to know at C4L is still there and chat with him.
Nice find on the story
