Virgin don't really care about those left unserved for right now beyond the Project Lightning areas. They don't seem interested in using BT's infrastructure in any way. They have done trials and haven't progressed them to deliver products for several reasons.
They have recently successfully trialled new ways to deploy their cable and full fat fibre optic networks and will do this where the financial case makes sense. That isn't everywhere, but then BT only did 2/3rds of the country out of their own pocket. VM will have greater coverage than BT's commercial FTTC rollout did, and at considerably higher cost.
