Right now I can discuss this as it's out in the open, VM appear to be doing a fairly substantial FTTP trial in Papworth Evarard.

People in the area are reporting seeing microducts appearing at the edge of their properties.

There is no phone service available, presumably due to the cost of the battery back up required to meet the service obligations on telephony, however broadband at higher rates than delivered over the standard cable network and TV should be available.

Onward and upward for VM I hope. Makes a ton of sense to build new FTTP areas and good to see them taking serious steps to trial both potential versions of the technology they can use.
