Left VM for now
As of the 9th my VM circuit has ceased to be, so I have left the fold for the second time. Nothing to do with the service, I was lucky and very, very rarely had any issues with my broadband supply. ...

Nothing to do with the service, I was lucky and very, very rarely had any issues with my broadband supply. Most likely because I was always in modem mode 😉
Now running BT on FTTP 500/70 as the sole supply for broadband.
For the curious here's a wired speed test, I couldn't not do one, could I? 🙂
And even though BT are using legacy GPON rather than XGS-PON (which VM's Nexfibre use incidentally), those speeds mirror my mother's BT FTTP for that package tier, although her ping times are like 5ms, even though she lives in middle of a farm field. She gets around 513mbps anytime of day and somewhere around 69-71mbps for upload. Downfall of BT is not doing symmetric, but mother is lucky as Cityfibre doing work and will be just days away from be able to change to their symmetric services. So flaky ADSL Max until 2019 that went every time there was high winds and torrential rain and now she will have two FTTP providers; would never have seen that coming as till last minute, BT and BDUK could not say "when" back in the day. Then BT suddenly came out and did the work whilst the village down the road had to wait, although they had Superfast BB via FTTC for a while before. Cityfibre doing work there now, whilst no sign of BT doing FTTP there yet, although they have committed to doing it.
