Yep, it's an Openreach monopoly area because Openreach bothered building a fibre network here and Virgin Media didn't.
Competition? VM could be competing but they're not willing to do any building either unless it's handed to them on a plate. Nonetheless, they did have the option of LLU'ing FTTC but it seems they couldn't be bothered in the end either.
Nah. I'm not excusing BT. I'm just pointing out a "steaming pile of crap" network that delivers a fast and reliable service beats even the best and most amazing network that can't deliver any service at all.

Someone will know, though I suspect that VM insiders will not comment publicly about DSLAMs.

If that's what they're planning perhaps that's why they abandoned their LLU rollout.
