Re: How big are VM's infills?
No choice but to, given the coverage target they've set themselves. 20,000 in the first phase in Manchester however they will need to be building at 800k premises per year. This is just their warming up and many more projects will come online in parallel.
They're about 1/4th through the 9,000 premises expansion in South Leeds now, with I'm sure loads more to come once this initial build is done as then come the areas to our immediate north, Belle Isle and Hunslet, which will be sandwiched between cabled areas once Middleton is complete, and then to our south a few thousand premises worth of orphan plant in Tingley.
Tingley build then sandwiches uncabled and cabled bits of Wakefield, etc, etc. Without going far at all outside of existing build there's an entire West Yorkshire expansion programme to be done across Wakefield, Leeds, Bradford and surrounds.
Something I did note was that, contrary to the initial announcement, VM are open to building to entire new towns if they have existing plant in a neighbouring town. This will I'm sure get people's attention.
