Let's all come down to earth. Cynically.

The free upgrade was timed exactly to coincide with the BT Infinity free speed hike. It was pure "mine is bigger than yours" - the game VM constantly like to play. And that plays with your minds. You all (I don't really mean all but you know what I mean) want this free upgrade. They bring Usain Bolt to point to the month when your area is in the mox (carefully not saying that's when it's being delivered).

When the hype is over, upgrades have been made to an evidential level, VM can then let the truth out quietly; something they've always known that many old infrastructure areas will take a lot loger to roll out.

IMO, what's worse is that they're doubling the speeds at all. By all means double the infrastructure. We might actually get the originally contracted speeds. Otherwise, with double speeds, we'll be where we were before (some good, some remaining bad).

But still VM will be the fastest in the land and they'll hype this into further over-utilisation.
