The first thing VM could do is admit that despite all the publicly available forecasts, they've massively under-estimated the data requirements of their broadband users; that, as a near-bankrupt business, there's no way they can raise enough investment to upgrade the network quickly enough to satisfy that demand in the near future, let alone the volume that'll likely be expected by customers over the next few years and apologise for their incompetence.

Oh and give an undertaking to accept no new connections to near-capacity UBRs and cancel their entire advertising and marketing budget.

Some would also suggest that it would be sensible for the entire board to resign but -- call me a softy! -- I'd not go quite that far. Just the CEO's severed head on stick would placate me.
