Well publically they have stated they spending 110 million or so GBP on these upgrades. To me that doesnt sound like a lot of cash, as a comparison BT are spending many billions to put into perspective. I suspect early areas 'may' get what work they need for good performance as long as its easy then the latter areas (which seems like the upstream uplift 2 channels vs earlier area 3 channels) will simply get corners cut and the absolute min work done, I wouldnt be surprised if some areas have no work done and the configs are just switched over. Which is what I think happened here when 100mbit was activated as all I seen was a sudden drop in performance with no new special 5th DS channel etc.

I hope infinity gets rolled out here ahead of schedule as the lack of credible competition here is hurting.
