Those are delivered with the MSAN in the cabinet already so presumably the ducts and plinth are covered up waiting for the MSAN itself.
Closer to delivery time I imagine that cover will be replaced by the MSAN.

The 4 million premises, £3 billion Lightning is the first phase of the project. If it goes as planned VM can and will continue to build.

VM are willing to suck up considerably more than £500 per premises passed during the course of this project. They will be building to completely new towns and are budgeting £750 per premises passed across the lifetime of the project.
The back end of the project here will be coming in at close to £1k per premises passed, offset by the costs of the earlier phases of the build and justified by take up and expected ARPU in those streets.
Pierre can probably pull up the details on that particular drama.

Great, so Virgin Media are going to that new estate. Interesting, as they didn't build out to a new estate that was built only 2 years ago round the corner.
