Re: Will VM ever match BT's upload speeds?

At the end of the day VM probably set their network up at 10:1 because that's all they thought would be required. And most people were happy with that. Now that BT are installing their fibre network, they can take a look at modern technology, and the needs of the consumers, and install a network that has higher upload speeds.

It is far easier to install a complete new network that is capable of higher upload speeds, than it is to upgrade an old network. Although I should think VM will gradually upgrade their system on a replacement basis.

On the other hand VM could take the view that 99.9% of their customers are quite happy with 10:1, and not change anything.
