I will be interested to see if BT point this out when advertising their Infinity service later this year. VM might then feel compelled to do something, particularly as I suspect the forthcoming 120Mbit tariff is partially designed so VM can say "we offer the fastest download speeds in the UK". |
Just because it's technically possible to do 20Mbit upload doesn't mean it's financially doable
Virgin have just spend over a year getting the network to a point where it can support 10:1. I would expect making the whole network support a higher upload to download ratio is another big bit of work
