I'm guessing most customers take multiple VM products and VM don't think it's worthwhile for the development costs involved in developing another model box.

Interesting observation, I had previously always assumed that requiring VM broadband in order to get a more modern box was a deliberate incentive to upsell.
Of course, they might have taken this into account when deciding whether to pay for the development costs too.
