Comparing AAISP to Virgin Media is like comparing Fortnum and Masons with Asda. One has extreme price competition the other does not as it appeals to a niche.

VM can't appeal to a niche, they need to sell, sell, sell, cable networks are expensive.

It's not about my standards it's about reality.

Incidentally I didn't make any mention of fixed contention ratios, however I entirely agree with the policy of limiting upgrades to heavily utilised areas. My main issue with VM is the occasional lack of timely upgrades to oversubscribed areas.
