No Incorrect, you highlighted Manchester and Newcastle which don't have anything like the same problems that Plymouth and Exeter have. Just because a couple of people complain on a forum about speeds/capacity, doesn't actually mean there's a problem.

Manchester is made up of 6 legacy network areas for example, to say that Manchester has problems is like saying that Scotland has a capacity problem. The network is extensive with many 10's of thousands of distribution points and 100's of Nodal areas.

Oversubscription is a myth, lack of capacity is the reality due to problems with legacy network builds.
