Re: Roll on some competion

Competition? Who are you kidding?

Virginmedia (plus the gigabit new entrants) provide "competition", but not in the sense of classical competitive pressure to reduce prices and improve services. Instead they use Openreach as a benchmark to justify their own higher pricing, and the mercilessly lobby government to block any (worthwhile) USO on Openreach, and limit additional ultrafast broadband funding, even in areas they themselves won't touch.

I'm with VM, and all I see is shit customer service, total absence of customer focus, endlessly rising bills, along with maximum speeds defined only by the idea of "10% faster than BT's fastest widespread offer".
