G.Fast - is it worth it - and moving?

[SurreyNorthern]

As I am now out of contract (currently on EE Superfast plan - get 74mb), I'm looking at something faster

My options seem to be VM (but i see people complaining regularly), or G.Fast

My exchange is not on the list to be done anytime soon as a prioroty for the full fat Ultra-ultra-fasts.

So, G.fast, the usual suspects really.

BT, EE, TT, Shell (!), and Sky

Goes without saying that TT are cheapest, at 29.99/m

Shell @ 44

BT same, EE more expensive than BT, and Sky @ 35

Is there really a difference between them?

What concerns me most is what happens if I move and G.Fast isn't available where I go - highly likely.... Has anyone experience of that and the implications?
