Is it not going to be the case though that other users will end up having to subsidise the high end 50MB/100MB users. This is afterall a niche market with the majority of the population never needing at most 10MB. Whatever Virgin may think people are still going to migrate between Virgin/Bt to take adavantage of offers even if the Virgin service is faster due to other considerations.

I recently dropped from 20MB Cable to 4MB ADSL and it has not affected my lifestyle in anyway. I am still downlaoding the same and getting the same performance (Actually my pings have improved slightly with ADSL). lets face it the only reason most are on the 10MB service is that they got a free upgrade.

I can't wait for the 1st person to brag about having 100MB in my pub so i can respond why would i want to pay £30+ a month extra for a service i do not need. When does it become no longer finacially viable to stay ahead of the competition.
