Would also stop them having to lose money to BT et. al. on 4G mobile backhauls in the region. |

Virgin Media expects to connect more premises in neighbouring postal towns prioritised according to demand from consumers and businesses.

Virgin aren't going to spend all that money getting to Aberdeen, population 250,000 and perhaps 100,000 premises, even with options to reduce the cost of 4G backhaul.
They can and do lease connectivity from Aberdeen for use with their existing mobile backhaul deals.
The Greater Manchester infill alone passes as many premises as there are in Aberdeen, with change. Tons of other towns and cities that either have incomplete cable coverage or have the required Virgin plant running nearby.
