Broadband

Old-Dutch

I’m paying about £76 a month with Virgin for the 1gb broadband, phone and a basic TV package

Millsy

VM has been the most consistent provider of all those I’ve used. Great speeds, fibre to the premises and fairly decent service levels.

Smallman1

Thanks all.

Think I’ll upgrade to £35 a month, doesn’t seem too bad.

Millsy

Smallman1 a chat with the sales person should see you walk away with £80pcm for 10mb, Disney +, a lollipop and some magic beans as per.

Smallman1

If I did want to switch is it easy?

benson

£40 a month for 350 Meg from virgin. Was wobbly for a bit but a man came round and redid the cable at this end and then at the box. Worked like a charm ever since.

Best thing I have done though is hardwire my office to the router and spunk £400 on a orbu mesh system that is lightning fast everywhere

Hursty

£20 for 400Mb FTTP

Hursty that seems too good to be true. Who’s it with, source etc

ArchimedesQ

£37 for 500MB fibre from Vodafone - not the most powerful router though. struggles sending Wi-Fi signal to the servant’s quarters, whereas BT used to give a good signal all over the hyse

Homegrove

26 € a month for 200 mbps fibre.

Hursty

C_J Gigaclear, they spammed me with constant deals until that one came along. Free install and kit to boot.

mono-stereo

Just under 40 a month for Gigaclear fibre direct to the door. Would be happy to pay double tbh.

benson

mono-stereo Giga clear offices are less than 500m from where I live but they do not do our street. They are quite literallly across the road.

C_J

Hursty noice

Old-Dutch

How reliable is it Hursty? I’m locked into my deal for quite a while yet but might look elsewhere when I’m free

Hursty

Old-Dutch Well it seems solid so far which is useful as I host some crypto related services from home so need a decent connection.

1 pre-planned outage so far which lasted 6 hours.

Dan

Sky £33

Reliable

mono-stereo

benson Yeah they are quite limited to who they can serve as they lay their own optical network rather then use openreach/bt shite or virgin’s copper.

It’s all a bit of a con imo as even BT’s supposed fibre to the premises service uses spliced connections in a lot of cases because they’re cheep cunts.

Hursty

Lit fibre are another based in Reading

Millsy

VM doesn’t have copper. BT does.

mono-stereo

Millsy Nah ,they are planning on getting rid of it (DOCSIS), but at this time most of the network is still copper (coaxial) cable from your house to the cab on the street. From the cab onwards it’s fibre.

Granted Virgin’s last leg is better then BT’s “POTS” ADSL fibre to the cabinet network, but virgin are still using copper coax for the last leg until they upgrade everyone.

Smallman1

Millsy VM doesn’t have copper. BT does.

Sounds like a line from Goldie Lookin Chain.
