Not had a problem with VM apart from the fact I would like a continous bank of IP's and a faster upload... The faster upload just ain't gonna happen here until 2012 as we're restricted to ADSL (8mb though 6.5 as we're 1km from the exchange)
You must be right in the middle of all the areas you discuss, they're all either being upgraded or in early tranches.

After 6 six service techs, network techs and headend techs, it goes without saying more calls to VM then I care to remember. I moved to another ISP.

My time is precious, tech visits & calls ate into my time. So if you have nothing to do all day but wait for techs to visit & make calls to your ISP or derive some pleasure from said calls and visits then I guess it beats watching daytime TV.
3 significant outages and VM having no plans to perform the necessary work to resolve my issues is quite enough. After first week long outage was repeated within a month I was unhappy but stuck with it, teething trouble, another outage recently was enough.

I know why my area sucks, rather than rebuilding the network or upgrading it VM just crowbarred DOCSIS 3 onto it. Until they spend some serious time and money here it isn't adequate reliability wise for my needs.
