The argument is about the cost of laying the actual cable for a network that reaches everywhere in the UK. It's that part that costs the money, far far more than what they've invested in broadband.
If you already have the cables laid to reach the homes it's then trivial to invest in broadband, as you don't have to engage in a massive road digging program and instead just have to upgrade the tech in your existing exchanges.
