They wouldn't set up a new config for you. 100mbit up is technically possible with d3.0 but depends on frequency allocations and local infrastructure, remember VM is a hodgepodge of different original builds.

VM won't do regional discounts at all, so they will just bleed customers in fttp towns.
The problem for a genuinely national provider is that once they start differentiated pricing it creates a lot of stories of “my mate two streets away pays x” and to be honest as the higher paying customer the fact competition is available elsewhere is unlikely to make them less angry about it.

The best you could hope for is retentions offering deals based on what is available which wouldn’t get the same traction in terms of damage to their reputation.
