Indeed. This is why I still have far more faith in BT than I do in VM - in multiple occasions where I've seen people's speeds drop to 10% of normal, they have always fixed it within a week and without needing to report it.

That said Sky boast about being the first ISP with a 100Gbit backbone, so it really goes to show just how much data people are pushing these days...
