... and another thing to draw this together.

Bearing in mind that the VM tiers will be 100/200/300, the fact that they're trialling 200 meg in Cardiff (e.g.) suggests that the SH will remain the gateway for the two lower tiers. The 300 meg tier will almost certainly not be of the current SH2 type.

And have you also noticed what VM said about infilling adjacent areas? I don't think they said as much as this, but it'll be deep fibre whereby each cabinet will be an optical node, the fibre going back to the local hub, aggregated into a line card via passive optical taps. Much easier to manage resegmentation and because there is no amplification, vastly improved SNR. Last 200 metres would, of course, be coax. Anyone able to confirm all that?
