Perhaps Igni can tell us whether VM's current system is the same as Plusnet DSL's implementation? Using both services I know VOIP on Plusnet is absolutely faultless, the downside is p2p on their network is virtually dial-up at peak times.
I can't actually get Asterisk to get along with the Super Hub properly to test call quality on VM these days. From past experience there were lots of packet loss, jitter and other unpleasant stuff to make it unusable. If their new system is DPI I'd expect it to be perfect now when it comes across VOIP packets.
