I have been a loyal BB customer to NTL/VM for several years enjoying good service but paying a premium rate for it. I live in an area where I could easily have got 6-7 Mb on ADSL for less than I paid to VM for 2Mb, but I wished to stay with VM and that was the offer they gave me!

My point in the thread you have linked was that many do not know that they are getting poor speeds until they start to use their BB connection for some serious downloading. I am one of the lucky ones who has never had any speed issues!
