Have you gone live yet?
Nope, still no cables laid either, and no sign of any installation work around the area whatsoever
Quick follow-up on my services. It took a while to get set up, there was an unexplained 1 month delay to my initial installation date but it's all sorted now.
I signed up for Gig1. Got a new member deal as part of the network expansion program. £35.99 a month for Gig1 and a 10GB O2 sim card. Real speed screenshot below,
Need to try and improve router to PC speed now. Using a new 1metre Cat6 cable but I think maybe a new network card would be helpful. I'm getting around 550Mbps on my phone over wifi.
Not jealous at all @Oneonefour!!!!
Your PC to router speed could be a limitation of the "Hub" that is used on the router itself, as they are a "Hub" and not a "Switch". Most likely though the cause is that you're probably using a 1Gig network adapter in your PC which if it is one of the on-board ones, it will never get true 1gbps, they do not have the ASICs on them that enterprise class cards have

I can show you a screenshot of my 10Gbps network both ways if you really want to be.... VM is playdoh by comparison of a REAL Fibre ISP!
Got a swish fibre Mail Drop today to notify they are going to be starting installation soon. If Virgin doesn’t get their service online soon I’ll be signing up to swish.
Does not suprise me..
TW laid cables here in 1998 - ran the fibre down but to this day it's never been turned on - there is FTTP here so they might as well just let it rot - and thank for messing up our pavements for nothing!
