Later, when they're out inn the wide world, there's a case for saying that c. 60% of them will find themselves in a VM area and more than 50% of those will find that the VM service in their area, even the 50 meg basic, will be faster than FTTC due to copper distance from the cabinet.
So the loss of future business to VM, if they do the calculation at all, wold be somewhat small because of long memories.
Does that make sense?
