My other point was you have BT/EE, Vodafone, Three and O2
They are the 4no. MNO’s in the UK. When Three want to buy O2, that was blocked because that would have reduced the number of MNO’s to three.
Virgin, along with Tesco and a load of other MVNO’s are just essentially wholesale customers of whatever MNO they are contracted to.
So if Virgin move their business to O2 instead of Vodafone from EE, so what?

Per the Statista market share chart earlier, the market share of a combined O2 UK and VM would exceed 29% which is usually an issue in the UK.
The acquisition of O2 by Three
was blocked by the European Commission who are unlikely to get involved now, per the FT article Den linked to.
