That, and there are likely to be fewer obstacles in the way as there are either no residents, or fewer residents, to cause issues..

After all, laying cable can be a very disruptive process. Thus, if residents are affected, the local council and other authorities are going to make VM jump through a lot of hoops to dig up the roads.. If those roads are not fully laid yet, the council doesn't need to get involved.
