I have to disagree with you completely. If VM only sold up to 10Mbps then pretty much everyone could do what they want without there being any bandwidth issues. Customers have paid more to use more, it is just that VM can't cope with what they are selling. What cements this is the fact they will take on new customers and stick them on UBR's that are already noted as oversubscribed, so that customer has problems for day one.

Maybe a couple of times a month I needed download bandwidth at peak times, but what I needed more often was a stable jitter and packet loss free connection for gaming.

As for the Sky Fibre dig, that is just being pedantic. Pathetic even
