I am really happy with the price and performance of my VM connection so I will not be moving to BT but it will be nice to have an alternative viable option.
Just done the BT broadband checker,

You can get fast and reliable broadband with speeds of up to 20Mb.
Estimated 5.5Mb Now

You can get fibre optic broadband with speeds of up to 40Mb now.
Estimated 18.9Mb download now. 7.7Mb upload Coming Soon.

What a fizzer....
