Fun times ahead lol
I agree that as far as BT's ADSL competitors go, it will be fun times ahead. As BT can simply undercut the lot, including Sky's broadband/telco packages.

But I don't think this will impact on VM very much for two reasons. VM is already very competitive on price. And secondly, VM owns its own network and doesn't (as yet) have to rent it out to competitors like BT has too.

The real fun times happen if BT decide to bite the bullet and invest billions of pounds and sling fibre optic cables from their telegraph poles instead of ancient copper wiring. Then things get really interesting. But pigs will probably fly first before that happens.
