I don't know the details of the figures, but it seems to me that a built network complete with connected customers is bound to represent a substantially greater investment on the part of the network builder than the basic cost of passing x-thousand homes with new build, and a substantially more secure return on the investment if there are a good number of connected customers and a reasonable churn figure.
Entirely agree. There's the cost of CPE and the cost of the equipment either end along with the cost of the installs to the however many customers are online there.

However, I still struggle to see how this could account for the difference between £300 per home passed (remember these are homes passed not customers) and £1,500+ per home passed.

In any event it's by the by. I am not going to put any more effort into this particular project as we won't be staying in the area longer-term.
