prepare to bee "majorly ****ed off" then. I highly doubt this current round to network expation will mean adding coverage to a town thats not yet covered.

My understanding of the current programme (going by what mr burkett said to an invester meating about 6 months ago) was that this current programme will simply bee "infilling".

Example You have a town thats already cabled, and some1 in the town has demolished their house and build 20 new houses on that land, (or possiably new estates that sprung up in cabled towns) that new street doent get cable even though theres a pipe running just along the enterence to the street, under this current programme they will expand into that street.

The most ambousious that could bee expected under this current plan is for VM to start working with estate developers again and installing cable into new developments as there being build.

On the bright side this sound more like a "trial" of network expansion ie if say 75% of those 500'000 homes take up VM's services then it is extreamly likley they may start much bigger programme covering whole towns missed in the 90's
