Well, I'm not believing much of what he's saying there :P

By the way, I got a call from VM the other day asking why I'd cancelled. The woman on the other end then felt it necessary to remind me repeatedly that I'd not get as good a service or supply from any other supplier, and that there was 'no way' I could get equivalent speeds on ADSL. The woman I spoke to at Be, on the other hand, has informed me that the contestion ratio on my line is 1:1, and that because of the exchange and its distance from me I should very easily be able to get up to 24mb.

I did remind everyone I spoke to in VM about Phorm, and made a point of mentioning it to the guy trying to sell me BT broadband packages as well - apparantly he'd never heard of them.


BT must be raking in the money over this though - what we don't seem to have considered is people who want to leave VM's cable service, and so have to shell out for a phone line from BT before they can get any replacement
