Pretty sure fairness isn't anywhere in the criteria for this stuff.
Leeds is the UK's 3rd city, there's a lot of housing that's very amenable to FTTP and an extensive CityFibre metro network. There's tons of fibre in the city, it forms part of the backbone fibre infrastructure in the UK - it's on the eastern side of the ring interconnecting with Manchester and heading further north.
This said the metropolitan area is at about 78% >100Mb coverage, 91.7% >30Mb. Leicester East, West and South constituencies all have higher >100Mb and >30Mb coverage.
So it's not quite as simple as Leeds having Vodafone on the way, Openreach Fibre First in progress and Leicester being left behind - even with the G.fast coverage Leicester has better superfast and ultrafast coverage.
https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/leeds-central,E14000777 is the ward I'm in. 10% FTTP, 30% G.fast, 5.1% below USO. There's still 2019 and 2020 and Openreach are announcing about 40 different towns and cities in their programme, so early days.
