Well can you? So far all we have is your opinion on the matter. Which is fine. We all have opinions.

Mine is that, with the best will in the world, things go wrong. VM made a good, educated estimate of how long it would take but things have taken longer than they thought for whatever reason.

So perhaps they should have added six months to their estimates or perhaps not said anything at all until the work was under-way and they had a better idea.

The problem of course, as easily demonstrated in the 'Coming Soon' thread is that VM can't win either way. If they say something and it doesn't happen at precisely the time they said they get slammed for it; so they don't say anything and it's all "why don't they announce stuff".

Of course, you may well be right. But without proof it is still just your opinion, even though you stated it as fact.

I really wish people wouldn't do that

They carefully plan what they can get away with saying.

I like a good conspiracy theory as give me a good laugh. Unfortunately, this isn't even a good one.

They are a major broadband player and know exactly at all times what resources they can apply to their infrastructure.

This may well be true. But I don't suppose for one minute that they can see the future so won't have any clue if something might go wrong to put their plans back.

My statement doesn't need proving beyond that. As if you didn't know.

You made a statement of fact. Facts can be proved.
