Wired, just a heat check. 400/200 is enough, losing all wires.

Switched from BT back to Virgin Media a couple of weeks ago; there was a weird issue at first (some devices getting a 192.168.1.x IP address instead of 192.168.0.x, so they didn't have internet without a static IP assigned), but it's sorted itself out now and it's all going swimmingly. Fingers crossed they become a bit less stingy on the upload speed in the near-future. :p

random question from a non tech guy like me. If I do a speed test via a vpn network, will the result be that of my local isp or the vpn server?

 

VPN, because it's their network where you come out onto the Internet.

If it's that bad, it'll probably need a resegment, which means waiting for council planning permission (hence the long wait).

 

They usually won't make you pay for broadband until it's fixed. 

Contacted the CEO's office a few weeks ago and got a reduction on the price until October (when they should be sorting the problem).  Yesterday the router reset itself for the 2nd time in the last couple of weeks - even resetting the password and forgetting the wireless we have set up.  But today, about 2 hours ago the speed was back up to normal - 40+, but right now it is down to 5-6.  Better than it has been for the past few months, but not what i'm paying for.

Comcast is doing 180Mbps down and 12Mbps up. I can't for the life of me understand why such a discrepancy between up and down. But I remember ten years ago a 1.5Mbps/768Kbps was a baller status speed, so we've definitely progressed.
