What I do know is @ peak times both VM & BT sloooooooow right down...... Which ain't brill.... But it would appear to be one of those unfortunate facts of life......Another fact of life is that VM is cheaper  |
The fibre runs to the cabinets in the street then it's not copper to your home at all it's coax. Steel coated with copper to protect it. Still much better than coax and it prevents
detiriation of the network and also your speed. (Sorry if i spelt that wrong)
The reason VM slow right down is because of STM.
