So infinity in its worst case scenario remains useable for mainstream activities, VM doesnt.
Did you know "Infinity" is actually the name one ISP (BT Retail) choses to give to their FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet) based package. Any ISP can offer FTTC and market it how they want, currently there are around 70. Refering to FTTC as Infinity tends to give people the impression you can only get this faster "Fibre" broadband through BT, which is of course untrue.

These days BT will offer FTTC on lines with estimates below 15Mb, they just don't call it "Infinity", they call it something like Extra Total Broadband. Other ISPs, ADSL24 for example, will provide FTTC with estimates above 5Mb.

Just wanted to clear those things up to prevent any misconception for readers.
