True, though it's a product unlike Openreach's testing of 1Gb G.fast using hardware 40m from homes. Can't really compare products that are live with technology trials. Zero indication yet that Openreach intend to roll out FTTdp at any scale.
By next year VM will have faster speeds again anyway, and later on in the year DOCSIS 3.1 followed by at some point FDX DOCSIS 3.1 - VM can hit a gigabit without deploying deeper fibre and symmetrical gigabit and more without touching the last cable run to homes. VM have the lead on bandwidth until Openreach roll out widespread FTTP, and Openreach are fine with that, they don't compete on bandwidth because their customers don't ask them to
