Offering cheap 9 month contracts in August is only going to obviously attract more users.

I really think that us here are the tip of the iceberg, most users dont even know there's a problem.

I just hope the delay in the increased uploads and 100Mb is to make sure the network is robust enough to cope.
I do not disagree with you.

Students do hammer the network for 9mths of the year.

There is no delay in the increased uploads and 100Mb rollout. Quite a few areas need a lot of work. The upgrades will continue in the areas that take less work. That's just common sense.

When eventually the upgrade is complete it should mean VM have a more robust network.
