Hi Guys.

Just re-signed back with VM on their M250 package, but because I'm with O2 it's been upped to the M350 service, hopefully the Hub will arrive on Saturday on Self Installation.

Was originally with Cable Midlands 512k service, then Telewest and finally VM until I left in Jan this year due to not getting a good deal on renewal and went with a local based Openreach Service Provider on a 12 month contract, but could only get a 67 Mbps VDSL service which ended up at just over 42 Mbps at my TP-Link Router despite my ISP telling me the VDSL Service to me is fine.
Full Fibre from Openreach, Cityfibre etc is not available here yet just outside Telford just yet though an Openreach email said that a year ago FTTP was on its way but no date offered.

After being finally on Virgin's M500, I found the VDSL 42Mbps service slow and lately webpages at times have been taking 5 seconds to load and Video streaming suffering with a buffering issue at times so decided to bite the bullet and go back to VM and a VM promise that I can claim my leaving fees up to £200, though I think my final VDSL service bill will be around £75.

The only thing I don't like so for is the VM 24 month contracts.
