I think one of the major comparisons between ISPs has always been their customer service.  For which most will judge based upon experience when a fault occurs and how the ISP reacts to finding and fixing it.  ISPs such as AAISP, Aquiss etc get good reviews because their staff actually understood the technology rather than reading from a "reboot your modem" script.  VDSL had some steep learning curves and this is where the ISPs with technical staff won hands down. 

FTTP is more stable than FTTC, fewer faults so less interaction and need for contact with Support and ultimately satisfied customers who are happy with their ISP.   If nothing goes wrong, then theres little to be unhappy about.

Thanks. My daughter is with EE on FTTP and she seems to be quite happy with their service.

It's rebadged Zen, so OR FTTP.

Currently am waiting on a new ONT because apparently I have a 1Gbps one, not 2.5Gbps. But aside from that, it's great so far.

It appears to be purely rebadged (wholesaled) Zen. I didn't take a router (I don't need any more e-waste, I've got enough as it is!) as I use all my own equipment. Just replaced the AAISP PPPoE details with the Freeola ones and it was up.

I seem to be connected via London.

Cool, do you know the IP of the gateway you're connected to?  Be interesting to know if it's a Zen IP.  If so, I'd imagine it might be somewhat random each connection whether you end up in Manchester or London - certainly was for me last time I was with Zen.

It's a Zen IP - and traceroutes all show me on the Zen network.

OK, not sure I've got the stomach for an all-Zen service at present as it was a bit of a torrid time last time round!
