If you were seriously going to do that, you'd have just kept your VM connection had "bonded" it with your FTTC to get 200/32 and better redundancy.
But whatever floats your boat.

Re: (Advice) Thinking of leaving Virgin Media 120mb for BT Infinity up to 76mb
Virgin Media phoned me about the reason of disconnected and offering me 120/12 for just £22.50 with discount loyalty (£15) for 24 months if agree to renewal 12 months contract without a virgin phone. And they promise me I will get 152/12 without increasing price and don't need to renewal contract again. I told them I have a think about it.
What you all think guys? This offer sound a bargain now and they say this offer is the only available for me as a special customer and they doesn't want me to join Plusnet FTTC as they kept telling me about £19.99 a month with up to 76Meg and up to 19Meg plus phone line £15.99 work out more expensive than Virgin Media.

... And if you post here from anything other than a BT IP, I'll be sure to mention it.

BT Openreach Engineer been here half an hour ago and change new master socket and faceplate (MK2) and using his tool kit reading line sync pass 79999K/20000K and plugged BTO Modem with my Netgear DGND3700v2 wireless router and got this speed result below:
BTWholesale test is not working at present, so I cannot see exchange IP Profile yet.
All looking good so far

Re: (Advice) Thinking of leaving Virgin Media 120mb for BT Infinity up to 76mb
So why are you posting from a PlusNet ADSL IP address?

How would there be a difference between ADSL and VDSL IP addresses?

They use the same netblocks for VDSL as they do for ADSL you utter clown. But lets not let that get in the way of belittling your own users, eh?
