Mind you, after Enron...
Wonder how much Sky would pay for the barebones network...

I figured VM's main problem is that they're caught between a marketing dept that believes they need to compete with ADSL on price (a smart business plan, ffs!) and an incompetently-managed engineering dept that doesn't seem able to (even roughly) accurately schedule upgrades or even communicate with other departments.

But that doesn't explain the current sorry state requiring ridiculous STM limits.
Didn't any VM management forecast the logarithmic increase in data traffic five years back?
Really?
Or just plain underfunded, undermanned and disillusioned.
