That model is unrealistic. If they insist on building HFC they have to accept that £300 per home passed isn't enough to expand coverage significantly.
100,000 homes in East London sounds a lot, it's less than 1% of the current homes passed.
Wonder if they paid £300 per home passed, total £12 million, for Smallworld?
Given Liberty paid E10 billion for the 4.25 million homes passed by Ziggo this seems unlikely.
Bizarre the budget to build networks is so much lower than the one to buy them.

Never actually answered this most completely.
VM also refused to extend their network to the Middleton and Hunslet areas of Leeds, despite having core network here.
The demographics in some areas of here are similar to the demographic you are alluding to.
East London is I'm sure partly economic, but probably a little political too.
No matter; at some point with the ongoing trials in Papworth VM may start using construction techniques from this millennium and hence open up new coverage areas even with their derisory spend limit.
