I reckon that's the "between the lines" I was talking about and is my take on, ie VM moving to a more FTTC type service.
Here's the direct quote from Fries when asked about how they'll build out the infill:
"...it is an evolution of the current infrastructure as opposed to a wholesale change to the current infrastructure. So, fibre will be deeper and you know in many cases right to the premise. Erm, but we do think that docsis 3.1 and the advantages of that will be substantial across that."
"...they'll be no copper....largely fibre..."
So, my opinion on this as well as doing the infill, they'll do a few upgrades to the existing network with some areas getting a FTTC or FTTP service.
