My connection barely breaks 25Mbps.

Openreach's map says my area is upgraded for FTTP, but my ISP says not.

Openreach may be bigger, but their network is old and shit to large areas of the country. Virgin are far ahead in that regard.

I'm not going to hold my breath too much, because twice we were supposed to have been upgraded to FTTP, and both times BT/OpenReach quietly cancelled it as the government changed how they were going to subsidise it. But I just checked the Project Gigabit website and it looks like they might have a plan for Hampshire!

It's CityFibre too rather than OpenReach so that'll be nice.
