Who pays to maintain the infrastructure? Several thousand miles of fibre and Coax, with related equipment isn't going to power and maintain itself, and with the relatively low broadband prices in this country, it's unlikely that Virgin will make a profit on anyone just taking broadband, unless they wack the contention ratio right up, which will torpedo any on demand services in a lot of heavily populated areas.
