The network VM has is capable of significantly faster speeds than they make available now without needing to extend the reach of the fibre.

Unfortunately the network was built on the cheap in a few areas (by NTL and Telewest), so they need to do massive upgrades to even make current products work properly on them, never mind the stuff they "could" do. Capacity is the main issue now.

As for your previous post about VM and customer care, you aren't wrong. Its disgusting that they can treat customers so poorly all the while claiming that they give them the same deal as new customers. When they reduce the price of a package, they rarely reduce it for anyone still on it, only people moving onto it. I actually went from 20meg to 50meg and saved £12 a month.
