If you can show me where VM portray their network as being entirely fibre based then I will bow to your superior knowledge.
One could say they are simply portraying their network as faster as it isn't entirely made up of copper.
The reality is when advertising you don't make an advert 4 pages long to cover all the details, you just make some sweeping statements.
I think some people should just get over it, if VM works for you then great, they aren't perfect though, if they don't work for you then leave and that should apply to all but the few who have no option. Moaning on here for year on end isn't the way to go, surely people can find something more positive to do with their time, like post in a different section where they won't moan as much. I sure as hell know it's depressing enough to read and excruciatingly boring to see the same people year after year churn out the same negativity.
