There is nothing like a good old fashioned debate, i don't have a problem with you and i am sorry if you think i am being off with you because it really is not my intention Chrysalis. I just think some of your points are ill informed or from you personal opinion and are not the opinion of the majority of people and therefore do not relate to everyone else.

Analogue is an old system in the dark ages, the problems you experience are not relative to the vast majority and the network will be left to rot until VM can cable it with it being financilly viable. Currently there is too much debt. I don't see why they wouldn't keep BB up in those areas but the majority of analogue areas do not have bb if they do, they are very lucky. Why couldn't Vm offer a iptv service through their BB to analogue areas where it's available rather than use LLU and therefore copper networks?

I don't particularly think the LLU service will be anything to write home about and it will have it's bugs just like other IPTV companies. Customers bb experience will yet again depend on distances from the exchange. Some customers living next to the exchange will be very happy like BE* customers are but then the majority living further away will have problems. The only thing that i think will set Vm out from the others is if they can keep their prices competitive and keep VOD free for their top paying customers. This is where BT vision could be a really great service but it lacks.
A typical fanboy phrase. People as far as 1 mile away have been known to hit 20mb. I certainly dont live near the exchange and get top speed on Sky.
