I moved from Sky+ to V+ and from Be* to VM XL. On ADSL with Be* I "only" got 16mbit, rather than the 20mbit I do get with VM, but VM is twice the price.

With SkyHD I'll be getting a whole swathe of HD channels (including free-to-air channels that VM don't provide) - with VM I get BBC HD. A whole channel!

What a mistake. Combine all the negatives, and I'm yet another rat leaving this ever sinking ship.

Goodbye VM. I'd say it was nice knowing you. But it wasn't.

Just got my uncapped line back - thanks VM - it's only 1am...

At least I can now catch up on the downloads they were inappropiately throttling an hour ago...
