a) learned opinion there says they will need another cabinet with associated 2-way ducting to go above the current 100 - should the demand arise - as there is not enough room in the new small cabinet for the extra racks etc, hence significant costs/planning issues, not forgetting, of course, that 100% coverage of HSB is 'promised' by Surrey CC.
b) one should not forget that the vast majority of the British unwashed (MB, of course, excused) believe BT will be dropping meteorites into THEIR gardens soon, so expectation > realisation?
