I hope they do go for network expansion on a bigger scale.

My parents moved to a new build home a few years ago and they can only get BT/Sky for combined packages.

They would happily switch back to Virgin but the new estate is about 500m from the edge of the existing network so hopefully they will look to expand that way eventually.

This is a prime area to the southern edge of Glasgow. They are building LOTS of new houses in the area and these aren't cheap houses either 500k plus, which is very expensive in that part of the UK. So take-up rates would be good, I'd expect, as Infinity still isn't there yet and who wants an amazing house with rubbish internet nowadays.
