Well guys...after almost 5 years relatively trouble free with VM, I've moved house out of a cabled area
Unlike some members of this forum, my only downtime was 1 planned and 1 unplanned outage (leccy contractors cut cable) and relatively solid speed since I was on 2mb and even better on 10mb.
I've signed up with Ask4 using the Digital Region South Yorkshire network...they are providing me with a VDSL2 service (40meg down/10meg up - should get roughly 35mb down and 6-8meg up) for £25/month with no caps (mainly because there aren't many people on the DRL network at the moment).
I'll obviously still be around the forums though
