Anyone had the feeling after today's news we've had a carrot being dangled in front of our faces before all this was announced?...

To summarise so far:-

Not being rolled out everywhere yet.
£35 with a Phone line (£46 per month inclusive of phone line).
£51 if taken as a single product.
£50 activation Fee. £30 Install Fee. (New customers only?)
No confirmation of upload speeds, after all these years - customers interest is also based on the upload speeds.
Virgin Media are still using the terminology of unlimited downloads and saying no traffic management will be in place at launch, but an acceptable user policy still applies, this is a contradictory usage aspect if I ever saw one ...
New customers only to get the router free with 50Mb.
