Wrong?

VM could provide services to 25 million homes too.

Now why do you think that is? Seeing as it has the same "coverage", which negates your whole point completely

Exactly.

If VM's off-net service was any good, it would in itself be a challenger to the likes of Sky, BT, and all the other "big" xDSL ISPs

You can't really do an apples to apples comparison on that, the part of the "network" that sees most congestion problems on VM does not exist on Sky. Sky do not own or operate that part of their network.

• Congestion is resolved in less than a month, in some cases a week or 2

Core network congestion on VM (the only part Sky has any control over) is resolved pretty much just as quickly. I've never seen core network issues on VM last over a month.

• Constant low ping rates

Ermm...

Notice how his opinion of "decent" on Sky is nearly 40ms minimum. The worst on VM (when the network isn't broken) is 26ms, that's in the most northern reaches of their network in Scotland.
