Edit-Just had another thought. If they were to add areas like Chester and Wrexham, won't they need new buildings? I always thought they were trying to do this expansion without adding any new sites (hubsites, switches, whatever they're called).

If I think of the hubsite in Bromborough there's Virgin Media vans coming and going constantly, dozens in the morning especially. So it must be used a lot. So what could they do with an area like Chester? Can they serve it directly from somewhere like Warrington these days or would it still need a more local site?

The other side of Wirral would be seen as infill I guess, and would be served directly from Bromborough.
