1Gb symmetrical internet

[don0301]

Just having this installed and available in our area (Colchester)

Lilaconnect is the company.

Anyone got FTTP or had experience with this company?

I have got the 900 FTTP with BT. If you haven't had FTTP before you will really appreciate it. Unless you are planning on running a server were large files need to be uploaded off site you really don't need symmetrical. I found the 900/110 for me is a real overkill for my needs but its really nice to download large updates on the pc and xbox which previously would have taken an age in a matter of mins
Looking at their website they look like reputable and established.
Enjoy

Hi

Thanks for reply.

The symmetrical is standard with the offer, apparently they do a dedicated fibre line to each single property.

Funnily enough, I've suddenly got a BT letter through the post miraculously offering FTTP now, funny that. Even though they won't be able to use the same ducting....

This service is cheaper than BT/Zen but obviously is a bit of unknown. They're a swedish company in cahoots with the local council.

They have done similar in Stoke on trent first I believe.

Only problem I've got is planning to put my home on sale again in the Spring, and they all are offering 24 month contracts only.

Hi My understanding unless corrected is if you move house after signing a contract and they cant offer the same service you are eligible to leave said contract.
You will need to check the T&C's
However, if you are with BT and they offer FTTP in the same area where you are moving to, then its very simple transfer (or should be)

My only other observation is to ensure that everything your side of the network can manage full duplex GB. A lot of domestic kit can’t, not even close in many cases.

Yeah, I was told this but the OFCOM website says you are liable to T&C's, and liable to pay up to the full contract outstanding..

My problem is if/when my home's sold I'll be moving to temporary accm (due to covid rules) before moving to another property of mine after tenant gone (extended times due to covid)

I might just take the hit ref. 1gb as it is very appealing.

Still chewing it over.

Thanks for replies.
