I'm looking at upgrading to VDSL, from the brief look around I've done, it looks like WorldNet might have one of the better deals. Obviously I'll need a new VDSL filter & modem (Fritzbox sounds likely), but other than that it looks pretty straightforward.

Any better deals around right now? Are WorldNet reliable and/or good to deal with?

On the upside, they support the Cisco 186 analogue --> VoIP adapter which is what I have, so they'd presumably be able to supply proper configuration information for it (rather than the cobbled-together, but working, mess I've got right now).

I'm currently running a Draytek Vigor 120 ADSL2+ modem in full bridge mode to a Tomato'd Asus RT-N16 router. Obviously the Draytek will go out the window but the trusty Asus can keep on doing its job.

Historically Worldnet have an extremely bad reputation for customer service, I would avoid them.

If you want to go cheap you can't look past Hosting Direct.

Snap have been pretty good with VDSL, they provide Fritzbox's as well. Also got to love all you can eat Google/Youtube and native ipv6.
