According to Broadband.co.uk, VM have now overtaken Be and O2 as being consistently the fastest Broadband provider across all the speedtests performed by them, across every period of day or night.

With the 4-10Mb upgrade now completed, 50Mb about to start rolling out, along with the 2-4Mb upgrade commencing in 2009 it looks like clear blue water may be opening up in the battle for service differentiation.

Now they just need to get analogue TV turned off so they can roll out channel bonding to increase upload speeds and there won't be anybody who can catch them.

About time too!
I'd take that with a pinch of salt.. I am on Be, and the speed test on the site mentioned in that article measured my speed at 8Mbps. I average between 14 and 18 on other sites, and can download from Giganews at 18 to 20 Mbps..
