Interesting.

Tom Mockridge, quoted in Daily Telegraph interview 1 March 2014
Quote:
Similarly, Mockridge acknowledges that the limited coverage of the Virgin Media network will be a challenge at some point in the future.
“The ambition of the company is to find ways to cost-effectively serve more customers,” he says. “Digging up roads is not only expensive but it’s also something most people don’t particularly like.
So no digging up of roads then. Looks like Tara Conlan did not see the point about not digging up roads or was given other information when she wrote up her interview for The Guardian 19 days later.

Virgin is making "significant investment" in its network, which covers half the UK, and wants to grow it through expansion, which will mean digging up roads, rather than acquisition.
