It might well fix itself one day and untill then it's not impacting you like you say.

I don't think there is any need to show how bad VM are, it's all already there to see and is what happens when you don't invest sufficiently. Branson does the same with his F1 team, selling most of it off and relying solely on CFD so he doesn't have to splash out on a wind tunnel. As a result their still at the back of the grid and scored no points last season.
someone in glasgow would get lower latency on a direct path to london than someone in reading going to london via manchester.

routing obviously affects latency.

I dont think branson has any significant input on VM's investment decisions, he basically sold his brand name for a royalty payment.
