That is working on every property passed being connected which is not going to happen. Areas that have not yet been cabled will have had their potential customers taking alternatives such as Sky, BT and ADSL and it would take some serious discounted offers to tempt them to change, particularly if they have seen the advantages of Sky+. These discounted offers will further extend the return period for the capital expenditure.
