BT's WBC has no node in my city I either go via peterborough (my shortest route) or via birmingham. Both require going north before south.
Haha, of course it would be a lot lower if it was direct to london, my point was you should see 2ms lower regardless of routing given where you are in the country, if not for the weirdness.
It might well fix itself one day and untill then it's not impacting you like you say.

I don't think there is any need to show how bad VM are, it's all already there to see and is what happens when you don't invest sufficiently. Branson does the same with his F1 team, selling most of it off and relying solely on CFD so he doesn't have to splash out on a wind tunnel. As a result their still at the back of the grid and scored no points last season.
