in short its been done on the cheap?
In answer to part 1 the price of the rest of the market did - note BT's pricing of their Infinity service and its increment over their standard broadband price - zero.

In answer to the other point yes, absolutely, done on the quick and cheap. They are doing it quite cleverly and in the cheapest feasible way however you misunderstand why it was done. It was done to relieve pressure from transit and peering not local networks.
