In the future, with Netflix and Amazon fighting aggressively for content against Sky, owning a great broadband network might just be the wiser choice. In LGI's eyes.
They hope it wins them more customers as comparing prices VM are quite expensive they boast about fastest download speeds but their upload is rubbish.
Example vm 50mb with 5mb upload broadband + evening and weekend calls = £39.09p/m the same with plusnet but with upto 78mbs broadband and upto 20mbs upload and sites are not blocked = £36.98p.
VM aren't as cheap as they make themselves out to be.
