I always thought they ran out of money because they moved too quickly in the UK, trying to cable up huge areas too soon.
I do think that Virgin Media as we know them now maybe don't investigate areas where they could easily gain new customers. How many other areas are there like Greasby, where the cable infrastructure exists but isn't linked up to the Virgin Media backhaul (that must terminate nearby)?
Here's a link to Google Maps for those interested:
