Hmmm.., Just had a thought.

The vast majority of Sky's BB services are totally unmanaged while all of VM's BB services are extremely managed with not one but two systems. One wonders if Sky employed the same extreme network management techniques as VM would Sky still be suffering over capacity problems? No way to know for sure but their is a good possibility they would not.

As the BB services offered by these two providers are so different a direct comparison is not possible. The only valid comparison is how responsive the relevent company is to:

Admitting they have an issue and what it is.

Fixing the issue in an acceptable timeframe.

From what I see and hear Sky appear to be winning hands down.
