Re: Fibre overbuild: Who gets service
Thanks, Noddie. It's bad that VM are so opaque about full-fibre and XGS-PON. To me it doesn't make sense not to upgrade/sidegrade HFC customers when the bulk off homes in our immediate area use VM's HFC product. New customers may well be sparse now that CityFibre have completed their build and they could steal the BT/EE/SKY customers, particularly SKY.
As I understand it, current HFC customers will not be approached to transfer over to full fibre.
Initially, it was going to be a selling point for the new NetCo to attract partners to wholesale the full fibre network to new customers and VMO2 would keep the HFC customer base.
But now that the NetCo has effectively been canned by Telefonica……who knows!
