They haven't stopped it, they've just stopped selling it under the Infinity name.

Which until recently was only 512k, and during that period there were a lot of people moving on (net additions basically dropped to nil).

Average speeds on ADSL are lower, granted, but maximum speeds of >2mbps were well in excess of the best available on even VM's top 50mb tariff here until a couple months ago.

The same could be said of the majority of people only having BB with 10mb download.

Course the whole VM forcing automatic and "free" upgrades on people is just to massage their figures, since most people would not bother to upgrade otherwise.

Historically most people have always remained on the lowest tariff available on VM, and once again VM are increasing the minimum available despite most people not really caring or needing it, to the detriment of those who do. Remember, surveys in the past have shown the majority of people don't care how fast their broadband is, as long as it just works - i.e. reliability is more important than speed.
