I thought I'd start a thread about Lightspeed broadband as I am getting close to pulling the trigger and swtiching to them, but any discussion about them in particular quickly gets lost in the other general FTTP threads. I'm currently with Aquiss on 900/100, while their service has been great...

Hi All, New here. So i recently upgraded to EE 1.6gbps, the EE SMart hub only has 1gbps lan ports, so i bought an ASUS GT-AX11000 Pro router, which has 10gbp LAN port, and 2.5gb WAN, then i connected the 10gb port to a BroTrends 2.5gb 8 port switch. Previously had all 1GB network gear. 1 of the...

I searched for 'the' Aquiss thread on here, and realised there wasn't one. :eek: We have a thread for most of the providers, so I'm starting this rather than tag onto the main BT/FTTP thread. I ordered 'Family Pure Fibre 1000' with a /29 IPv4 and a /58 IPv6 last Friday. The MD (Martin) has been...

Voneus are installing FTTP where I live and was wondering if anyone else uses them or knows what router they use. There's not very much info about the gear they supply and use. I'm looking to buy a mesh system for the house but want to make sure it's going to be compatible with what they fit...

Hello. A couple of months ago, I upgraded my internet to BT's FTTP 500/73 package which came with the SmartHub2. So far, I'm un-impressed with the SH2. It's very restrictive compared to the ASUS RT-N66U 'Dark Knight' I used with FTTC and also WiFI is no-where near as consistent on either...

Hi all, can anyone currently on Giganet let me know what your experience has been like with them from install to are you getting the speed advertised? I've been thinking about moving over to FTTP as it is now available in our area and with Virgin raising their prices I have found Giganet seems...

I know they'll be gone in a few years. I just wondered if it will have to be FTTP. I'm thinking of upgrading to FTTP with Jurassic Fibre but it's a bit of palaver with drilling etc. but if it's inevitable I may as well go for it now as wait.

If you have FTTP Broadband can you have two phone line running off it with different numbers. I suppose its a question for the ISP but FTTP isn't quite ready where I live :) Thanks :)

Hi all, Thinking about the switch over to FTTP I have been reading up a bit on VOIP. I hope to be able to sign up for FTTP and run that in parallel with my FTTC with talk talk and then port my phone number to sipgate basic (which should cancel the FTTC) I have managed to get a sipgate basic...

I am in the process of signing up to a full fibre FTTP service with Trooli for a house I am buying which currently has no internet service. Before anyone asks it's cheaper than any of the FTTC services as they are doing a promotion. In terms of hardware I've always been in to getting the very...

I've been having issues with internal wifi bandwidth being exhausted by one client during uploads of anything between 500mb-6GB+ causing 99% of other clients on the wifi to drop. In short the SH2 seems pants at any form of client management on that front so it's got to go, range is good with...

I've had FTTP up and running now for a month and half, all in all it's been great from a speed perspective but the kit (SH2 and 2 discs) is quickly becoming the weakest link. I'm having hell of my wife who works from home this morning because I keep taking down the line, saturating the upstream...

Typical busy week, only just thinking about the installation and ONT location now :rolleyes: The existing phone point, and therefore most equipment, router, firewall, nas, various iot things and an 8 port switch all tidily tucked away in a cabinet, smack bang in the middle of the house in the...

I have a site in Cornwall I look after who recently upgraded to Zen FTTP (were on FTTC) and took the 900Mbps package. From activation they don't achieve more than 500-600Mbps at best. I've tested this from a couple of machines directly connected to the Openreach ONT and dialling a PPPoE...

I live in a flat in a development. I'm currently with plusnet (FTTC) who have been fine but do not seem to offer anything beyond around 55Mbps. FTTP was recently introduced here. I'm told by the development that there are two providers - BT and Zen (not sure why there are only two?). I've looked...

I've been waiting what seems an age for Vodafone to connect up out street to Gigafast. The street was dug up and the cables laid over 3 months ago now but it's still unavailable to order. I've messaged them and they don't have a date when it might be available. Pretty much every street around us...

I've recently taken up a new FTTP connection with Aquiss, who, as standard, offer static IPv6 addresses (if requested). I'm wondering whether I should be requesting these, as IPv6 has been many years in the making, and seems to be pretty mainstream these days. Are there any actual benefits to...

Hi folks I'm after some advice re my broadband options... I have Three 4G mobile broadband, using a Huawei B535 router. This had been performing fine, but recently has become a right PITA. I'm sure it's not a signal issue, as my iPhone and the wife's Android phone are both with Three, and...

I'm due to move on to BT Fibre 900 soon and will likely have to replace the Smart Hub 2 with a mesh WiFi system which I believe can be plugged straight into the ONT connecting via PPPoE. I'm after a system which is capable of providing the speeds my package is able to supply. I've been I need...
