Increasing costs for increasing speed vs. not costs for increasing speed is very relevant.

Last time I checked, just under 70% of cable users get the speed they're paying for. For ADSL, that figure was <50%. Has that changed recently?

VDSL changed that.
Neither are VM. What's your point?

Assuming they don't finish ahead of schedule. Which, if recent news is any indication, they may well finish sooner.

Recent news says they are 4-5 months BEHIND schedule on the first of 3 sets of upgrades necessary before double speeds can take place.

Base price. Not including discounts/mates rates/etc.

Wrong. £25.50 after discounts. £34.75 before.
Infinity is £25 before discounts.

Well we all know that most current ADSL users don't get anywhere near their headline speed at any time. Any information on how close to headline speed their Infinity product is for the average customer?
|
Infinity customers get the almost the same percentage of their provisioned speed as VM 50mb customers (2% less). In proportion to "headline speed" which is subject to marketing spin, VM 50mb gets 96% and BT 40mb gets 90%.
Infinity customers are not subject to STM or deliberate reductions in speed. Infinity customers are also guaranteed a minimum speed at all times.
Interactive activities, such as web browsing, are faster on BT 40mb than VM 50mb.
