I think with the DOCSIS3.0 overlay they have capacity problems are significantly reduced (for now...). I notice very little slowdown on my VM 50meg connection at home.

for download speed I agree, however capacity issues sitll very evident on latency/jitter. Upload speeds reported are clearly shaky as well on the higher tier VM products.

VM need to get 36mbit upstream channels and upstream channel bonding sorted and only then I reckon they can realisticaly compete with FTTC upstream speed. Until then VM will have to limit high upload speeds to their most premium products only.

Looks like you're due in March 2012 (according to the latest BT schedules).
Just one thing.....It seems Brackley exchange isn't actually being upgraded and you'll all be served by the Banbury exchange (a fair way to run the fibres, but I guess BT have worked out it's cheaper than sticking extra equipment into your exchange).
Just don't go pinching all our back-haul

At least this way, if you keep an eye on the A422 (for Openreach trucks) your roll-out can't be too far away!

Lol - my garden almost backs onto that road. My cab will also be the closest to Banbury since it's at the second roundabout. Maybe it will be enabled first
