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

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.
If people only have BB with 1mb upload, then they obviously aren't concerned, otherwise they would upgrade.

1mb wouldn't be enough for me, so that's why I am on 100mb with 10mb upstream.

The congestion issue is being tackled as part of the speed doubling.

On a brighter note, the more people who leave VM and go to BT, the less congestion there will be on VM
