Not crazy at all, more perfectly normal and to be expected. VM's service is not fibre to the home, and the primary difference is ADSL gives you a dedicated line to the provider's backbone whereas on VM you share one line with hundreds to thousands of other people.
Perfectly normal to expect a dedicated line to be more stable than one shared with ~500 other users

I've argued that a few times before. I guess BT just isn't into false advertising as much as VM is
