That only 70,000 people have signed up for 50Mbit makes me wonder about this. We're far too stingy with how much we are prepared to pay for extremely high speeds to be seriously in demand.
The applications aren't really there for 50Mbit yet and there is zero demand or use with the exception of downloading the usual interesting content for 100Mbit.
Purely e-peen flexing in response to BT's wider deployment of 40/10.
I think Virgin may be wiser to ensure the bandwidth is available to customers on demand and services of a reasonable quality in terms of speed, variation at peak and off-peak periods, jitter and latency. If this is done at the same time as their e-peen exercising then all good but for me even though it isn't cool quality should be taken care of as well as headline speed.
