For the most part unlimited broadband in the uk is in a much better state than it was a couple of years ago, VM is now the only major wired broadband uk isp left who uses protocol shaping and usage based throttling on its unlimited products. They are the odd one out not the norm.

Chrys is right. I've always said that BT will win in the end because it's like the Russian army, if you know what I mean.
HFC in its current form brings congestion to a point close to the consumer - the optical node. FTTC doesn't. HFC can get out of this hole through investment at the local level but PRICE wars that BT (and its FTTC dromes) can sustain constrain VM's ability to increase local capacity quickly.
