Garbage, will never happen and written by some one that obviously doesn't know the sector.
Vodafone (C&W) arguably has a bigger Core Fibre Network than BT and Virgin Media's isn't too shabby either.
Dark Fibre, or wholesale of fibre is freely undertaken between operators on commercial terms and is in no way equivalent to the access to the " last mile" which is what open reach was all about.

There's fibre speed.

That's incorrect. MBNL uses VM small bits will use BT tails but the vast majority is VM
Vodafone used to use NTL (VM) then they moved to Global Crossing (level 3) then they bought C&W
VM has a vast nationwide network, yes they only provide broadband services to their " cabled" areas where they have Access Network but their core fibre network is huge.

What it's trying to say is that Virgin Media and Vodafone (ex C&W) rely on linking back on to BT's fibre network at some point anyway.

It's actually the other way around, VM and Vodafone will use the odd BT tail but only a few, and they use them to link into their own fibre networks not BT's
