From what I‘ve seen, they are hoping to use as much existing infrastructure as possible (duct, chambers & cabinets) and as they are overbuilding that means all the existing cables will stay in-situ, I don’t know how they sold it to the shareholders but the network is stuffed full in many many locations and cabinets are also full or falling apart. This will take a lot of extra work.
