Offcom doesnt care what isps say or do, nor does the ASA, so it's not going to get any better.

But i cant see VM being around in 5 years unless they seriously buck their ideas up, many refer to VM as "tiscali the second" now.
I can see your point but at the rate they're going they won't have many real loyal customers left, just those that use their connection for the occasional email and light browsing.

I would refer to them as tiscali the second myself, but as of yet I haven't had any problems despite being slightly cheesed off over STM. But unless they buck up their ideas, I might move to Be, even if my line is quite far from the exchange. I might get 3Mbps but at least it would be unrestricted 24/7. Not to mention cheaper too...
