1440954 2017-10-21 08:15:00 They sent me the VDSL modem (with WiFi also) a few weeks ago.
Based on the absence of the promised email advice, they may not have yet optimised it (done remotely by VF), but a speedtest just now gave 89Mbps down, 36 up and a ping of 15ms.

I don't stream, so the speed is a non issue for me, and server lag seems more of an annoyance than download speed anyway, but the free addition of the WiFi option might come in very hand soon.

I did a bit of digging, and these modems seem to have 3 levels of password, a user password, a remote password used by Vodafone (while I'll change after they've optimised it), and a top level manufacturers password. I can't say I like having hardware at home with so many backdoors in it!
