This is a piece of string question. In my area, it's less than 500 houses per optical node. That's the low end of the quoted range of 500 - 2000. So the cities will be nearer to 2000 - and they're suffering like in East London and users on the Mortlake CMTS.
To roll out 100 meg and compete with BT's upcoming 80 meg Infinity, VM understand that they have to raise their game and [rovide renewed infrastructure where it is weak and particularly to add channels to highly populated areas (new street furniture with more optical kit).
Igni knows more about the detail than I. VM like to play everything close to their chest - perhaps you could regard this as semi-classified because of commercial sensitivity!
