Whether you are on Fast Path or not is decided by negotiation between the OpenReach (ie not VF) cabinet and your modem/router (VOX3 or VOX2.5).  That negotiation gets tweaked at various times, depending on how well your connection is behaving - so at some future point, it may return to Fast Path.

 

See: https://kitz.co.uk/adsl/interleaving.htm for details.

 

As for latency, you can still use various speed test sites to check for the unloaded latency, and many sites can also tell you the stressed/loaded latency for your connection - Just be realistic, many of the figures you see gamers especially posting regards latency are braggs and don't reflect the real world.

My interleave is less than yours, methinks, and my Delay is also less.

So there is scope for improvement, either by a new router or VodaFone changing some parameters, or something else.
