I could get my full 10 meg from UK sites back then(so no local congestion) but peering with the US or Amsterdam was atrocious, why was that so when the network is so good ??
As far as I'm concerned BT wipes the floor with NTL even though the speeds are (supposedly) slower and the network worse..
I don't understand all the technical guff, all I know is that when I was with NTL I had to suffer awful speeds to most non UK sites, and now I'm with BT I get full speed all the time everywhere I go.

i don't think ntl/vm's network quite spans into US or Amsterdam
It'd be interesting to see the amount of bandwidth VM go through compared to BT, even though BT have the users VM may have the higher average connected speed
