I had an interesting call from retentions a few minutes ago.

As some of you may know I'm due to go to BT Infinity on 4th April.

As a non-gamer my requirements are mostly upload speeds and BT Infinity was the cheaper option for me, along with free install and free calls.

After a long call with retentions and expressing my opinion of the plooperhub I now have the surprising option of the following.

Don't let the install engineer take my modem (remove and hide it if necessary), let him install the plooperhub, disconnect it and experiment with the VMNG300 to see if it will achieve 100Mb speeds.

If so I can decide to carry on with VM, if not I carry on with the BT install on the 4th April.

From VM's stance so far I'm totally gobsmacked! I did not ring them, they rang me.

Happens on the 30th I will report back on my findings, I will put the modem through the paces as well!
