I dread to think what the service would be like if 50mbit was sold for £19 on VM.

So how are smallworld doing it? no idea but its possibly a loss leader as they selling sky sports for less than the wholesale cost. Bizarre as well that there is no online ordering.

When I was on adsl I deliberatly stayed away from cheap isps as something has to give way when the numbers dont add up, with VM of course tho there is no other cable isp in the area so I chose VM as it pounds adsl down hard. My feelings are on smallworld they loss leading to get a customer base and if their service is currently good it may well nose dive soon.
