I hope so, though feel it will probably be exlcluded, due to having an existing VM coax network.
My house was part of 7 built years after the original VM rollout (NTL at the time), Virgin Media were asking for 40k to infill around 15 years ago. Inflation adjusted, that's probably £70k today!

Not necessarily so, my location, small private development of about 50 dwellings, ranging from 60 to 35 year build, all UG POTS distribution, all with Virgin cable availability going back to NTL days, has been fully fibre provisioned by OR contractors early this year.
Of course I appreciate that there are regional variations my area being north west N.I..
Alex Atkin UK:
A large chunk of my exchange has Virgin (though it ends just before my FTTC cabinet) but its Fibre First. CityFibre are rolling out too (who claim to do WHOLE CITIES, so that could be interesting).
Now granted, I think my exchange is the biggest in Sheffield, but the point is that Virgin doesn't automatically change anything. They'd lose most of their customer base if they ignored cabled areas.

Ah that's good to know, fingers crossed something happens by 2025!
