Re: Vmng300

My VM local loop is or at least was suffering from massive congestion - I was seeing < 10Mbps at times on 50Mbps. I was given a fix date about 3 months away so I downgraded to 10Mbps and vowed to leave VM as soon as Infinity became available. It could be OK now - I do always see 10Mbps but if a DOCSIS3 local pipe can't deliver 10Mbps then it really is stuffed.

The way VM let my area get massively overcontended and couldn't fix it in a reasonable timescale (I'd class a reasonable fix time as a couple of weeks maximum) made me lose all faith in them. I don't care what they say they are doing in the future about capacity and network management - so far as I'm comcerned they blew it in late 2011 for me and they will never see my business again as soon as I have a viable out. I would have gone to ADSL were it not for the iffy line I have - I'm hoping the fault isn't between the nearest cabinet and me or if it is they fix it during the Infinity install. If they don't I'm not sure what I'll do - probably go to a decent ADSL ISP who is capable of communicating with Openreach to get the line sorted out.
