To be fair, the LNP has a reputation for concern re: cost/benefit analyses, but that has not carried over to their VDSL proposition. The ARPU (average revenue per user) possible on a VDSL network is far less than on a FTTP network (no multiplay, a cap on higher speeds, etc) and this lesser ARPU is not commensurate with the marginally cheaper LNP proposal. If the ratio of ARPU to rollout costs were equal, it would be an issue. The issue is that a VDSL network would not be able to recoup the construction cost proposed by the LNP.
