I felt a distinct lack of effort to keep me, which was instrumental in my decision.

Seems Sky have changed their attitude towards retention a bit too.

Then again with BT FTTPoD, far more people can get 330Mbit than VM's 152Mbit, just at higher install cost. Still, if it ended up £30 a month cheaper than VM it'd only take four years to make back the difference!

The cheapest I've seen FTTPoD / FoD for is £175+VAT / month for a 500GB peak time transfer limit, and 500GB off-peak.
FoD is still not available to as many people as VM's 152Mb yet. It's far from ubiquitous in its coverage of FTTC areas. About 4.7 million premises passed at last announcement of coverage.
