It's hard for me to comment too much on a thread like this as I do work for VM. I also get the staff package so the price I pay is brilliant to the service I receive. I can't be unbiased.

I wonder what is going to happen on other networks as more and more people sign up. Surely there will come a point at which extra investment will not return sufficient performance and money to be worth doing at which point what will happen?

Ping is low priority traffic so gets dropped if the network gets busy. That's how it should work. So at the moment "BT" fibre is uncongested so pings are good. Will it remain good with all those new customers streaming TV content?
