Thanks for the link, never used Quidco ? and just had a look, as you say some nice offers and cash back offers, so will be looking at this in the future
I did use uswitch.com / broadbandchoices.co.uk and a few others for comparison

So my BT Service today switched from Plusnet (Unlimited Fibre Extra) to BT (Fibre 2)
As an intersting exercise, I thought i would post my Vigor 130 DSL stats when I was connected to Plusnet and compare them to BT stats in a few days time.
PLUSNET Stats:
DS Actual Rate: 78762000 bps
DS Attainable Rate: 76269512 bps
US Actual Rate: 1999000 bps
US Attainable Rate: 21457000 bps

I used to be on BT 80/20 service around 2 years ago, which is the equivalent to there current BT Fibre 2 offering, the regulators stopped most if not all ISP saying what you could possible have synch rate and insisted they must quote actual possible such rates, hence mine is 47/70 Mbps download and 11/18Mbps upload.
Hopefully my synch rate will at least equal what I had with Plusnet

BT Fibre 2 Stats:
In essence no real DSL stats change, but interestingly, my Son has had only a couple of Fut champs / Fifa rivals disconnects (usually he had 3 or 4 a night) and still we are using IPv4 ?
Note: ‘NE ES Count: Downstream Errored Seconds’ count has significantly reduced – so will watch this over the next few weeks ?

I check the BT Broadband site today and still seems the ‘BT Black Friday Fibre 2 deal’ I purchased back in November was/is still the best around.
Currently BT Fibre 2 is £32.99 and £9.99 for postage of Broadband kit, back in November the offer was for the first 3 months free then £32.99 and broadband kit was delivered for free

That does seem a great price for FTTP, considering I paid £32.99 BT Fibre 2, FTTP and its extra speed is for the simular price is a good deal

I wonder if they (BT) custom services new at the time that you would not also receive the digital voice service and or that the copper was going to have to remain in your premises ?
Either way, still a great price

Yes, not sure but not bothered, still paying the same price either way :)
