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.

That sounds a bit like my history with Virgin. I was with them from the moment they started their service around here using existing Telewest cable.
I left them for Vodafone initially, (unreliable and high ping) ) but am now on the CityFibre network using Fusion Fibre as my ISP, (1gb service). I left VM because I wanted a symmetrical service, which they still don't offer, even in their FTTP service near here. Using ethernet I get over 900Mb up and down stream, a static IP, IPv6 and a ping always below 5ms. Over wifi I get >800Mb in the same room as my main router, (Asus GT-AX11000) £34.98 monthly.
I am guessing that you don't have FTTP in your area either from VM, Vodafone or CityFibre.
