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?

So Bogof post is complete garbage actually all of his posts are!
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.
