As I said above, they do use part of BT's network but not all of it. My point is they don't "just re-sell BT products", they pay a fee for the bit of network they use and sell their own products.
For Fibre they will be doing exactly the same thing, using BT infrastructure for part of the journey, as will many ISP's. However, again the product they offer will be totally different in terms of price and possibly performance.
For example, BT Infinity may move their customers onto 80MB from 40MB, but there is no guarantee Sky will do the same because it is a different product.

I know nothing more than you. All I see is Sky quietly getting their ducks lined up so that they can knock out VM's USP's one by one. Eventually all they will have left is headline speed and by using BT infrastructure Sky will be able to deliver decent speeds, potentially cheaper and to a much wider geographic area than VM.
This is partly why I think price increases right now are business suicide for VM.
