Andrew at Think Broadband is going to run the data over the weekend.
If VM are targeting 60% coverage the need to pass about 4.4 million more premises.

Have to correct myself. If the build is all going to be so close to existing network rather than actually building out to adjacent areas some of the premises will probably be fed from the existing coaxial network.
I was, it seems, optimistic. Only building within 50m gives a big FTTPR vibe and continues to leave me bemused as to why it would be so expensive. I was quoted £600-ish per home passed for an entire estate.
