Building in some of the most deprived areas of the UK probably means many who are unlikely to purchase the 'Big Daddy' package but hey they can re-use some infrastructure so it was cheaper to do.

I believe you're a shareholder. Either VM's build costs are absurd or they're extremely reluctant to spend money passing new areas, neither of which bode well longer term.

It shouldn't be costing them more to pass homes than a far smaller FTTP operator but that's precisely what the costings they provided me suggested. That or said smaller FTTP operator is happy to contribute more themselves to the cost of the build.
