I would suggest you order from VM, and if it sucks use their guarantee to leave the contract before 28 days and go with BT's fibre product
good advice

At least VM have their 30 day thing, with DSL isp's once the installation is done you tied in barring the sync rate been significantly of the estimated speed.

I can only say what I have observed.

I know three people near me who use VM cable.

One is in a very good area, and that area remains very good.
The other two are in congested areas and those areas also remain congested.

so from my local experience it would seem nothing has changed, but others on here are saying things are improving.

To me part of the issue is the ridiculously high requirement for utilisation, 90% is very high. Its not so bad if an upgrade can be carried out very quickly, but if the lead time for capacity relief is e.g. one year then the job should be booked at say 60% utilisation.
