For me personally FTTC has been overall great, In reality 40mbit+ speeds are fine for my usage, and as such both g.fast and VM's upgrades dont excite me as its a decreasing rate of returns the higher you go. Higher speeds will of course excite those who have torrents going 24/7 for 4k content and as such the demand on backhaul will skyrocket and it will be a test for both BTw and VM if they can cope.

What I value is stable low latency and reliability during peak hours not just been fast at off peak.
We will have to see if VM's network upgrades will delver that continuity of service geographically and throughout the typical day and week.
