If VM instead of raising the speed they had dropped the price for 4Mb where would the free bit be in that deal? VM really don't have any choice in upgrading - it's the nature of their business.
Just a thought, if the price had increased in line with access speed then for 10 Mb I'd be paying nearly 700 times the price I paid when I first access the net  It's a good job the network speed/price system doesn't work that way rather more exponentially (Moore's Law, Butter's Law). |
Unusual economic methodology - you/we/one agreed a price when you/we/one took up the service (even if you consider it a "below average deal"), you/we/one are getting a 150% download speed increase, and you don't see what you are getting for free - we will have to agree to disagree on this one, methinks.

You are on the ex-NTL (now VM) network (formally ex-C&W (Cable & Wireless)). Same as me  . |
Yeah, all makes sense now. Thanks people.
So you and me both will have to wait patiently. |

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
At least you don't live in Grimsby (not because we're usually one of the last to get upgraded, but just because...the clues in the name ) |
