What annoys me about this prospect ( which I actually agree with ) is that I don't want to leave VM cable internet. I like having a 20mbit pipe, I'm aware that it will soon be a 50mbit pipe and I don't doubt that I'll have ( once again ) a 100mbit pipe for little more than I am paying now.
I'll never get this anywhere else in the UK unless I return to satellite and that cost me over a grand a month 7 years ago for 100mbit.
The fact is that the cable infrastructure is good and getting better. It annoys me that VM can use STM when their network is already so much more capable than even the planned upgrades. The fact of the matter is that they are at a price point that they feel is wrong and so rather than hike the prices too often they will explore revenue sources such as target advertising.
Does not work for me that way. I want my current experience for the current price. If you want to use me as an ingredient in your revenue pie then fine, let's discuss just how much reduction in my outlay you plan to offer me in exchange for my cooperation. Otherwise I'll just continue to pay for the service you are contractually obliged to give me and I'll not take anything different or extra. ( aimed at hypothetical VM rep reading this )
