Netomnia - 10gbps upgrade

413x · 7 Jul 2023 at 11:46

Has a letter come through with this company I've never heard of saying the area is getting 10gbps upgrade.

Its this a new isp like virgin on a separate line?
Or would you get this via your old (bt line) isp? In my case talk talk?

Damn 10gbps to a house is just crazy!

Will need the internals upgraded to handle these speeds though.

They are all one big club.

YouFibre

Need a bit of advice here if at all possible... I live in the Durham area of England and I am currently with BT FTTC. I only pay £25 for 72mbps and openreach FTTP is years off but today I got a flyer to say YouFibre is here at 1000mbps and its £40 for the mesh system as well. You can get the...

City Fibre

Newcastle recently became one of the first cities to start having full fibre infrastructure installed and my area was one of the first to get it. I've just had it installed to the house today, a fibre cable from the telephone pole in the back lane to the eaves and then ran down the wall and into...

I expect it will be expensive and I'll stick to fibre 65 from talk talk.

Just wondering if some 100mbps connection will be cheap for something.

Looks like it's another network.
Probably going to be expensive in that case!

Netomnia is the company installing fibre, Youfibre is the ISP that is using the network.

Just another alt-net. You should find 100 Mb symmetrical to probably be cheaper than FTTC speeds from Openreach.

Yeah just looked at this.
Looks like it won't actually be cheaper. But might be an extra arrow in the haggling bow come renewal for talk talk

My talk talk cost is really cheap. It will be hard to beat.

Symmetrical, and fibre to your home.

21.99 looks tempting for 150.
Will need to check upload as that's the main issue. It's not an issue. But it's not ideal at 20mbps I get now.

No idea what symmetrical is!

Its symmetrical, so same up and down speeds

That's pretty good then. Probably worth the 3 pounds a month extra.

Will sign up to be notified when available.

Thanks all!

If you can find a local Youfibre rep they can offer better deals.

It's worth it for having fibre to your house. It means the connection can scale up if required, and isn't reliant on a a copper pair from an FTTC cab to your house and the issues which can arise from that technology.

Probably good for a plus point to sell the house too.

We both work from home so 150 up and down would be nice.
(long as its unlimited, I assume it is!)

Wonder why they are doing this area.

The new network vs my current line.

Its a bit more. But only a little for a good speed boost. If its still 3 pounds a month more when it comes I will probably get it

Over the year it'll be cheaper, just guessing as I don't know how you pay for your current services.

You could try looking on the provider website for more info.

Probably BT/Openreach haven't committed to it yet (or not until 2026 or whatever the target was), so they see a chance to capitalise
