> is [fibre] faster, or will I notice a difference if it is?

When we upgraded from ADSL to fibre in this house, the second thing I noticed was the reduction in dropouts on Zoom sessions, presumably from the increased bandwidth. This is a Good Thing, and not to be sneezed at.

The first thing I noticed was that the connection dies completely if there's a power cut (I asked for an uninterruptible power supply, but answer came there none). Given that the phone now also goes via the Internet, it makes it slightly tricky to phone up to say the power's out. So I wrote a filk about it, which I suppose counts as "GOOD news" .... unless you have to listen to it.
