I wonder which areas those are. Guess they were just too expensive to upgrade.

EDIT: Ah I see. They are legacy MATV customers receiving basic TV channels via cable not VM's own analogue customers. Nothing wrong with switching them off, no indication they aren't going to be digital capable just that VM don't expect to ever be able to convert their present unpaid service to a paid digital one.

The rest of the results are as expected. Increased customer growth due to expansion of network and digital overbuild.

Still 84% of customers take 10Mbit, and of note is that they actually announce they are trialling 20Mbit upstream with the 200Mbit downstream - bonded upstream and a further indication of evolution to a 10:1 ratio of downstream to upstream.
