In answer to the other point yes, absolutely, done on the quick and cheap. They are doing it quite cleverly and in the cheapest feasible way however you misunderstand why it was done. It was done to relieve pressure from transit and peering not local networks.

even more baffling, we both know now days transit and peering costs are very low historically. For an isp to employ management to control transit utilisation is rather unusual in 2011?
Also worrying in that VM obviously consider their port utilisation issues to not be a problem if the management wasnt even put in place to control that.
BT are selling a up to 40mbit product, VM's is superior on paper so there is no need to copy what BT are doing. They just need a better marketing team who can take advantage of BT's weaknesses. Consumers do have the cash, they spend horrific amounts on mobiles phones. gas, electric etc.
