You could be correct but then again could be wrong, who knows?

Given that, are a sufficient number of the customers that currently get cable in those areas likely to want to pay enough extra for FTTP, to justify the cost? No chance.

Hence, we are where we are. All told its a pretty crap position to VM to be in, although DOCSIS 3.1 may be a saviour.
They will be putting the fibre nodes closer to the home in the cabinets, so you will have fibre to the cabinet still but closer and serving the customers within that cabinet.
