They didn't just buy the LLU, they bought all of Cable And Wireless (except the Caribbean and Channel Islands bits)
They are now going to be offering TV using the ExC&W fibre backbone, which is an a amalgamation of Mercury, Energis, Thus, Fibrenet & Yourcoms fibre backbones.

Everything goes in circles.....
With Vodafone and Liberty competing against each other for cable tv assets, how long can it be before these two companies come together?
Hence the circles comment, as Cable & Wireless (as it was then) was one of the major parts that now make up VM today. I'm pretty sure some parts of my telephone service, if not all, use C&W's backbone, especially 999 services.
As for the 100k, yep, they needed to go. They didn't have access to a cable service, so it just muddled VM's brand keeping them on.
