Just confirms what an Odd company VM is, they must be feeling the pinch as nearly every in this area has moved to YouFibre.
They seem to be their own worst enemy. Some years ago, just a block away from me, VM installed full fibre to the premises. At the time, understandably, they offered a much lower upstream speed than downstream. I guess their main exchange still didn't have the capacity for symmetrical connections. Yet, here we are a few years later, with CityFibre over the whole city of Coventry, enabling symmetrical connections up to 2.5Gb, and Virgin is still offering only 100Mb upstream with 1.3Gb downstream on full fibre.
