Re: What are customers moaning about?

They are smart enough with their words to be accurate and yet misleading. It's not strictly 'fibre' it's VDSL which is a faster way of using your existing phone lines. The company Gigaclear actually pikes fibre cable through your wall and provides (according to them) 1gbps. In my experience only 70mbps.

I suspect he actually does have BT Fibre with the VDSL service but although this is potentially faster is not a long line service. I've seen customers with typical speed gains from 2mbps to 15mbps which is worth having but not faster than ADSL+ can do under better conditions.

The other advantage of VDSL over ADSL is that the circuit itself has more bandwidth so 18mbps on VDSL is consistently 18mbps all the time.
