Bear in mind that the majority of VM customers right now only have 1Mbps and if that was a big problem they would have moved on. Where to I don't know as ADSL is often even less. It's only FTTC that is offering high upstream and that is probably more because it can than because there is a major call for it.

IMO what VM need to address before upstream is the high levels of congestion they seem to be happy to allow which leads to poor download and massive jitter - that's what will be costing them more business than upstream. At least it's certainly why I'm moving on. My ~ 19Mbps up will be welcome but it wasn't the deal clincher - VM's poor performance due to congestion was.
