There is no 80/10 on FTTC. There's 40/10 or 80/20.

80/20 on FTTC is offered by at least seven different ISPs.

Not only this but BT FTTC tops out at 80Mb and uses existing Copper wire from the FTTC box (further away than the VM one) to get to me where as VM will take me 120MB and beyond and the box is amplified and closer to me (over the road), therefore futureproofing.....unless BT pull their finger out and decide to offer fiber to my door then thats when VM is int S*** street.
Wrong on every count. FTTC does not top out at 80mb.

The VM fibre cab is further than the BT FTTC box.

Unamplified fibre runs are better than amplified ones.

BT have already announced they *will* be offering fibre to your door.

Can some other people confirm for 100% that there is "a 28 day happiness guarantee" whereby if during that time the service is not what i am getting (besides the STN and any other restrictions), i can cancel?

Page currently unavailable (but then the whole site is down at the moment) but that's where the info used to be.
