The problem is VM promoting this as an 'upgrade' and giving customers no further info than that, or alerting them to the features lost. I'm all for choice as long as you're fully informed.
This exactly. More often than not there will be a sting in the tail with VM's "upgrades" especially when they actively contact people about it. There's usually only one winner, and that isn't the customer.
