Oh wait, there's about 3,000 private customers in total in the UK on 100Mbps products apart from VM. In other words you can't get those levels of performance from anyone else, even with the peak shaping in mind.

so given the lack of competition why they price it so low, who put the gun to VM's head?

VM would need to do some quite heavy duty upgrades to facilitate a Comcast-like system. Their current systems just aren't capable of dynamic service flow changes or such timely traffic monitoring while the Comcast systems were thanks to their running IPDR to police their 250GB/month cap and their more advanced QoS management from their PacketCable system to supply VoIP over the cable network.
