Vodafone FTTC

[Shac]

Anyone have any experience whether good or bad?

Currently with Plusnet and considering a switch to Vodafone.
Price difference is not a major consideration but cheaper would be nice.

Main reason for considering it is Peterborough which is having Cityfibre installed.
Annoyingly our area west of the railway has seen no installation works.

However I would be right annoyed if I paid for an 18 month contract with Plusnet then found myself having to pay a termination fee if / when Cityfibre eventually arrives.

But if its not a good gaming experience with Vodafone FTTC then I will stay with Plusnet.

If possible using Vodafone can you open a CMD prompt and do a tracert to 47.190.53.220 for me?

This is my main gaming atm with an example of PlusNets below.
Obviously if worse that would really stop me even considering swapping to Vodafone before CityFibe arrives.

Ok thats a non starter then I am not switching to add 40 to 50ms to my connection.
They obviously use different peering and it is severely lacking for my destination.
Hmm using Cable and Wireless network it seems.

Thanks guys for taking the time to provide the data.
