Looking at it like that you can see what a great job VM have done. I appreciate that they have an off net product but they simply do not push this - have you ever seen an advert?

Considering Sky were trying to compete with Virginmedias 50mb offering when all sky could offer was maybe 5Mb. Now Sky have a real chance of matching and beating Virginmedias speeds it will be interesting to see how the next year pans out. Virginmedia also had ondemand, iplayer 3 tuners etc etc. So sky weren't doing to badly. Also the a few million households that can't have sky for various reasons.
