This isnt really a question but more of a positive experience once my service went live.
I had been with Virgin Cable since 2015 before moving to BT FTTP 900 in Jan 2024 just gone, as much as I'm aware that Cable Broadband does have its compromises given it can suffer from interference/noise issues, I wasnt expecting such a dramatic improvement. This might not be the case for all Virgin customers of their Cable but depending on distance from the cab can sometimes cause there to be too much 'power' on the cable meaning attenuators are required, simply removing a splitter (like I did when my TV service went first) meant that the remaining link to the Modem was too strong.
Aside from Virgin Customer Service being painful I am really happy to have moved to FTTP with BT and although I imagine Openreach are largely responsible for the performance I thought I'd make this positive post about my experience since going live.
Below is a BB Monitor which basically checks latency, the switch over is clear from Cable to Fibre as there is a huge red block but the difference is also clear. All the yellow spikes was me performing speed tests all day long watching that 900 down 🙂 The average latency is more stable and lower, the maximum latency on the virgin cable is very much all over.
Im not hear to moan about Virgin, im sure some people have better experiences than me but here to highlight the benefits for me.
