If the price is right, they may consider it.
But over the next few years they will be adding 500,000 homes to the Network
Mainly through infill of areas within the VM footprint thaqt weren't cabled for various reasons, and new developments.
They aim to connect 70,000 homes this year. So as you can see that already dwarfs the potential 48,000 you mention.
They're upgrading Leicester and Bolton from analogue to digital.
Also in they're trialling a new system nr Bristol where people can send their desire to be connected to an email address. Once that area has enough prospective customers to make it financially viable they will build it.
