They appear to have spent a ton already splitting nodes and upgrading the existing network with some serious investment in network expansion on its way I've been informed both on Facebook and indeed on here in my thread about infills.

£1 billion was mentioned as the first cheque LGI wrote.
They're certainly spending a lot.

Ther example I saw was for Manchester, there are currently 551K homes connectable to the VM network, but a further 112K are within 20m of the network but not ducted.

These are what are being targeted.

The budget for 2014 building these out is being doubled, and trebled for 2015.
