The opening post states "that is because VM cable is available for some of the houses". Suggests that some are NGA white.

And I believe under EU rules BT can do a percentage via collateral damage because they can't just fibre up part of a cabinet (or at least it would be silly to do so). As long as that percentage doesn't go over a certain level then state aid rules will not block installation.

I've certainly seen it written into more than one of the county's public consultation documents, stating that installation of NGA cabinets is not just expected to provide SFBB speeds to its coverage "circle", but to also give "enhanced basic" speeds to areas outside this circle - and that such an enhancement was allowed, even if those areas weren't white areas (on the basic map). An example is East Yorkshire's document.
