I am very intrigued to note that at least some people will pay more for a better service. I appreciate that we here don't represent an accurate cross-section of the VM customer base but that some people will pay more for better is interesting.

Thank you all.
A lot pay Sky and Be* for an unlimited stable ADSL service and quite often pay less than what Virgin charge, so it's possible for an ISP to deliver the goods the customers appreciate. :)

ADSL offers lower speeds *some* of the time. Those living close to exchanges can get around 20Mbit quite easily if the ISP they choose offers a 20/24Mbit deal, so that argument doesn't hold true at the moment, and it's been done to death so many times I don't fee like fighting it at the moment. ;)

More about the network architecture. With the advent of the overlay network VM should find those issues largely mitigated though.

Here's an interesting article: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/0...television/?hp

It's focussed obviously on the US more but I would imagine a lot of what it says applies to cable companies everywhere.

Thoughts?

Virgin will continue to shaft customers in much the same way companies in the US will. :)
