Wow if thats so then that statement about virgins optical being so much faster is a joke as its there own network surely its cheaper for vm, than compared to the adsl2 providers who provide a better service atm for half the cost and have to pay bt?
Really cant belive that people paying £37 or £42 by non dd for 20mb bb are getting subsidised by lower tiers with all the traffic shaping and other gadgetrey going on.
Does anyone know what budget VM is spending on network upgrades and repairs this year, and what there advertising budget was for this year too, last year it was quite appauling and i bet this year its just as bad if not worse, so its not as if virgin havent got the cash to spend its just there throwing money down an advertising pit which dosent help the end user in one bit.
