The only grievance I have with them is the same as I have against any commercial company that blatantly lies, and even then only against the specific unit/department doing so.

Like I've pointed out in another thread, the only thing VM's service is good at is headline download speeds, where they are 30% faster than the competition. In just about every other measure, they are worse. They continue to ride on this whole "fibre optic" hype touting big numbers whereas even anything as simple as browsing the web is faster on BT than on VM's 50mb. Downloading big files is the only thing VM connections do well, and even then their service has gotten worse over the last 6 months while the competition has gotten a lot better. This is not me being anti-VM, this is fact.
