You have faster than FTTC speeds already - there are no prospects of VM upgrading areas when they could deliver the speeds that BT are with FTTP right now, 300Mb down, 30Mb up via upgrades of existing network.
Turning an existing area into FTTP would ideally use existing ducts and some existing fibre. Would probably need some more fibre, and each home covered by FTTP would need new CPE.
