There is only one network, BT's, which reaches every home in the UK. VM passes around 50% of UK homes. I think Sky/TalkTalk could make an argument that if they build a consumer fibre network of their own, this would put them in a weaker position financially and so need the scale of the merger to make it workable.
I note that on CityFibre's network in York, Sky and TalkTalk are working together with CityFibre and between the three of them are funding the fibre network out to residential consumers there. Perhaps this may be the start of wider cooperation between the companies.
