Not to mention:
- No STM
- No protocol shaping
- Mostly uncongested network
- Congestion is resolved in less than a month, in some cases a week or 2
- Constant low ping rates
- No jitter to be seen
- Far better upload speeds
- Ability to stream online video
- Stable CPE
- Separate modem and router
Obviously there are more less significant reasons, but as VMs advantage has only one bullet point (headline speed) which is invalidated by the fact most of the peering points are at capacity, I still dont see what advantage VM has

As I have mentioned yes there is congestion at some exchanges, however this is being resolved within less than a month. As QTX mentioned in another thread, every ISP is going to see congestion at some point, the matter is how they deal with it, VM seem to just delay the resolution date for months, and years until useage dies down, then close the ticket, which of course is re-opened weeks later etc etc
Besides the huge list of exchanges that were raised as overutilised a week or so ago, and given fix dates of early, mid or late February (all within a month) the only other example I have seen from Sky was utilisation over christmas, complained about on the forum, raised by a Sky rep on the Friday, with a fix date of the following Monday, which was then delayed until the Tuesday, and was closed that day, with the fault being fixed, customer happy.
As I say, its often VMs way to give a 3 to 6 month initial fix date, which then gets delayed by another 6 months and on and on
