I'd argue that for most of the people upgrading/taking the 1G service, its a useless number given the wireless devices most people have. The main reason I point this out is that they could then ring up VM and complain they are "not getting the speeds they are paying for"

From the VM sales page:

The Gig1 broadband service offers average download speeds of 1,130Mbps – 22 times faster than the national average – which enables households to do more online at the same time and on multiple devices.

Share files in a flash

With download speeds averaging 1,130Mbps and upload speeds averaging 52Mbps, you’ll really feel the difference when you download, send and share even the biggest files.

It's a bit naughty ...
