Correct, came as a surprise to everyone involved. But like I say announced the same time as the BT Sport deal, so either they needed the cash to fund the BT deal, or as part of the negotiations they agreed not to compete with BT off-net, either or both.

Nope, you're wrong.

I hate it when dealing with people on here who think they know about VM and the industry when they don't.
The project for providing VM services over the BT FTTC network involved VM connecting their own fibre to all of BT's exchanges thereby backhauling all of the traffic on their own fibre directly into their own Core Network.
Unlike other FTTC providers that don't have the fibre reach that have to pay BT or other carrier to backhaul their traffics.
I think it is you that needs to do some research.
