TalkTalk to splash £1.5bn laying full fibre on 3 million doorsteps

All or (virtually) nothing?

We have VM cable with 12 up 160 down.

The OpenReach line checker shows FTTC with a maximum of around 50 down.

Telephone poles are sprouting fibre terminations with reels of fibre waiting to be pulled through the ducts.

I have no idea if Talk Talk are planning a roll out of fibre to add to the mix. Noting that unless they get access to the poles there is likely to be a lot more cost compared to the OR deployment. This in turn makes me wonder if OR will quickly roll out FTTP in any area where TT apply for planning permission (or whatever) to dig up the roads and pavements.
