The rumours were running around but it is now formal and pending regulatory approval the merger of O2 and Virgin Media in the UK is set to go ahead in the middle of 2021.

The latest BT results lead with some good news around the groups full fibre ambitions and an update on where the roll-out is at present.

Continuing our look at the speeds of various broadband services we have branched out to cover the EE Mobile service and the charts indicate there was a big dip in speeds for around a week just before lockdown and as it started.

If your Virgin Media broadband service has stopped working or is intermittent it looks like there is an ongoing outage affecting people.

The full fibre roll-out from CityFibre continues and the number of premises where people can order the service has now hit the 200,000 mark.

The first alert from our daily monitoring for some months and the average speeds at Plusnet are more than two standard deviations lower than the average over the last 30 days.

This week we feature the performance of EE ADSL2, VDSL2 and G.fast connections over the course of the last 3 months.

The Vodafone Gigafast service that is delivered over the CityFibre FTTH network has surfaced in Northampton.
