Thank you all.

A lot pay Sky and Be* for an unlimited stable ADSL service and quite often pay less than what Virgin charge, so it's possible for an ISP to deliver the goods the customers appreciate.

ADSL offers lower speeds *some* of the time. Those living close to exchanges can get around 20Mbit quite easily if the ISP they choose offers a 20/24Mbit deal, so that argument doesn't hold true at the moment, and it's been done to death so many times I don't fee like fighting it at the moment.

More about the network architecture. With the advent of the overlay network VM should find those issues largely mitigated though.

Here's an interesting article: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/0...television/?hp

It's focussed obviously on the US more but I would imagine a lot of what it says applies to cable companies everywhere.

Thoughts?

Virgin will continue to shaft customers in much the same way companies in the US will.
