In their current state I don't believe that they are fit to hold a licence to operate, but if they lost it it would risk a lot of jobs. The best we can hope for is for it to be sold.
Totally agree. Never in my life have I dealt with a company that just don't care like VM. They know, that over most of their network, they have little or no competition - "Oh, don't like how we operate? Go ahead and cancel your 500mbit connection and live with 30mbit FTTC". Nobody takes ownership of anything, their primary objective is just to get you off the phone, or just put you back in the call queue for another 45m wait in the hope you give up. Or ignore a complaint for 3 months until you have forgotten the details of the complaint.

Not every company. Some want to keep their customers, and avoid bad publicity. Some ISPs are even B Companies, or CICs. Zen is a B company. ( https://bcorporation.uk/ ) I think B4RN were originally a CIC?
