VM also got a grant that they are using to upgrade their network.

Otherwise they will just end up losing more and more customers to BT's brand new (and probably far more reliable) service.
I guess so. Dont forget BT have a lot of aluminium still in their network as well which when used with the FTTC can have quite an effect on the speeds.
