It's hardly whinging and moaning to be unhappy when right at the edge of the rollout. Having worked with community here I sympathise greatly with those who had to wait and were stuck on sub-1Mb while those literally across the road were running at 40-80Mb.

Don't get me wrong, I sypathise too, I was more on about those already on 20Mb+

Some areas were I believe covered by Superfast Cymru. G.fast will be a different story, however it can use the infrastructure that that project built, along with using the existing cabinets to help with backhaul.

Hmm. I may or may not own a house there.

I know what you mean about slow and painful roll outs.

I hope they roll out G Fast better or more quickly than they have FTTC,
I live in a pretty urban area within Greater London and still can't get anything better than ADSL via BT's infrastructure.

I can only assume BT/Openreach have given up on competing in this area with VM when their fastest product is not much better than VM's slowest.

It would be nice to have some competition I could contemplate switching to but luckily so far VM haven't realised I can't get any decent alternative to them when I renegotiate my contract with them every 18 months or so
