All I can say is that someone has very high expectations if they expect that number of viewers migrating from VM.

Given that we don't know what VM will be offering, it seems very premature to be talking about an exodus to BT from VM!

This typical of VM. the PR is atrocious
I don't understand your complaint, Arthur. They haven't done the deal yet, so there's nothing to tell.

The new service doesn't start until 1 August, so there's time a-plenty.

Exactly what I was thinking, passingbat! I re-read his post a few times because I thought I'd missed something!

Given that Chad has opted for slower than 30 mg, the 'cap', if it exists, couldn't have been a problem, could it?

Chad, please explain yourself!
