Has some interesting news about CityFibre too and the market generally. Can't think it'll do much for VM's customer service. (Even though that side isn't directly affected.)

My only connection with them is that I'm with Sky Mobile, and they use the O2 network.

I'm hopefully moving away from VM (to Netomnia/YouFibre) next week. Much cheered that the competition authority blocked VM from taking them over. Have been frantically clearing 30 years of "I'll just leave that there for now" from the loft room the last couple of weekends so they can install there.

And the phone number is going to A&A. It hardly gets any use but it's worth £1.80/month to keep a number we've had since 1970.
