Don't forget that a huge lump of that was a grant from the government.

VM also got a grant that they are using to upgrade their network. However they should be using it to sort out reliability problems on their aging network (especially replacing all the aluminium cables that some idiot decided to use years ago). Otherwise they will just end up losing more and more customers to BT's brand new (and probably far more reliable) service.
