I'm not suggesting that things haven't gone down hill (IMO they have) since they got their Virgin badge, but it is still NTL.
I'm not sure about your other comment on the monopolies and mergers stuff - the BT infrastructure was paid for with tax payers money but now provides income to BT as they re-sell to those other providers. That wouldn't exactly be level for cable opening their network would it as they paid for it themselves. Besides, if they did, we'd probably see greater STM levels or similar as they try and reserve bandwidth for those other companies who (will probably) have tied VM down with penalties if certain service levels aren't met.
(Mind you, perhaps that could be a good thing as it could force VM to review their infrastructure whilst giving them a source of funding to do it with.)

You are now getting there.
You agree that services have gone downhill since the rebranding-and they have.
Other companies would quite rightly buy and reserve X amount of bandwith on the system and pay for the same (Just as premium users do ATM without guarantees)
Who benefits in the end?
1) Customers-they are given choice and get what they pay for.
2) Companies - VM get paid for provisioning and from their own customer base and have the added advantage of bulk wholesale sales.
