VM want people using their phone lines, and they want to be able to stop paying BT Wholesale to maintain bits of their telco network. They also want to stop having to install what are basically FTTC cabinets, but handling just telco.
They can also get in the raw coax more cheaply when they aren't ordering a siamese with copper pairs attached for the drops, and build the networks more cheaply as there's no need to mess with twisted pair alongside the coax / fibre in the case of pure FTTP rollouts.
No brainer to VM going VoIP now that they are planning a substantial build.

That's exactly my point. They can charge a hell of a lot less for line rental, hell they can bundle the phone for next to nothing, essentially, and still undercut on a lot of broadband packages.
