That post provides no indication the subscriber was a power user - the only reference they made was to playing games. They did show technical aptitude but that's not the same as a power user.

In terms of the M&MC, yes, VM may be the only cable provider of size in the UK but is that relevant? As a company they offer telephone (plenty of competition there), TV (plenty there too), broadband (as I've already said, the majority of users don't even realise there is a difference - plenty of competition in the broadband market) and mobile (again, lots of competition).

How would you make the argument that the cable transport market is suffering when end customers don't purchase cable? They just purchase services carried over cable. Services which themselves are already in a highly competitive market.
