I don't think it's a done deal yet.
I don't know anyone that really enthuses about voice over cable.
Anyway, we'll see.

The cost of upgrading the Telco transmission network is massive compared to the HFC in my opinion. The exchanges are obsolete and so is the Transmission network. The work to replace the shelves is not straight forward and would cost a fortune on its own.

For one shelf! Yes but times that by thousands and the cost of the work to do it and thousands pounds more. Then the existing STM1 network has to be replaced with Broadgate in the cabinet and headend, more fibre needed for comm's to the MSAN shelves ect,ect. Maintenance contracts with Keymile, licences ect ect
