Please dont confuse an untidy Distribution point as a sign of over subscription.

This figure is not correct, VM are spending more than double that amount this year alone.

There is no such thing as "key areas", every part of the network is treated the same. The well publicised area that had issues was Plymouth/Exeter which had capacity issues due to the type of equipment in the field utilised by Eurobell. These issues were rectified some time ago and upgrades completed at the local headened to accomodate the required capacity needs.
