Could in theory but I'm sure I read somewhere that VM always use their own ducting to avoid issues.

In Milton Keynes (for example), most areas can't get Virgin Media due to an ongoing dispute with BT over who owns what.

That might have calmed down by now, but I can't imagine that would help Virgin Media to decide in favour of using others' ducting.

They could, in theory make use of dark fibre but everything I've ever seen has indicated that they always and only lay their own kit, whether duct or fibre.
