So what is the reason Virgin Media dont offer the higher upload, you have to also remember tho, other companies dont have as many customer Virgin Media do, so they need a **** load of bandwidth to serve us all and this other company only have say few hundred thousand customers which is less bandwidth than VM have to provide.

Whilst I understand VM arent knights in shining armour and they are no where near pumping in enough money to the network to make it stable, you just have to look at all side.
