Most of the telco equipment is already there, and has been for years. If someone isn't connected to it, then it's sat there costing money to maintain without any return.
Even where a property hasn't had services before, I'd expect the cost of installing a master socket is pretty low in the grand scheme of network costs.

Anyway, the standalone broadband costs on VM are cheaper than BB + Telco, just not the full difference, as the pricing will be done partly to encourage people to take more services.
