Yes Druchii it's FTTN then VDSL2 to the home, though it's no different from VM running FTTN then DOCSIS 3 on downsteam with DOCSIS 1 / 1.1 on upstream so giving claims that BT are being silly are tricky given VM are the ones offering 20Mbit with a 768k upstream (BT equivalent 1.3Mbit) and 53Mbit with a 1.75Mbit (LLU Annex M equivalent up to 2.5Mbit on a maximum 24.5Mbit downstream) upstream. It's very clear VM haven't given a crap about upstream and BT are just riding on their coat tails...

No mate it likely is indeed that FTTC action going on - the usual telco network is very low maintenance

Frankly BT's 10:1 on an FTTP 100Mbit product kicks arse compared to anything VM have at the moment. Given VM like to whip the e-peen out and consider themselves as being a fibre optic broadband product those are the standards they have to be compared to so there we go.
