I stayed the course and my 50mb connection dropped to 12mb while on BT my 40mb increased to 80. Every time I've been with VM in the last 6 years I've eventually ended up with a connection running at 1/4 it's quoted speed.

do sell their network to other companies, just not residential ISPs.
In fact, 60 out of the last 74 months, or my entire adult life, I have got or have been able to get better speeds on BT.

Infinity does look better priced though.  |
If you're that distance from the cab I'd expect 200mbps on vectored VDSL2 30a, i.e. without fibre.
