BRSK

Latest published results shows that Community Fibre lost £140m last year, you can’t use their 3Gb pricing to determine that anybody who is more expensive per gigabit is therefore bad value for money, because the company won’t exist if that continues.

So if CF and BRSK were in the same area and you had a network at home that could accommodate the speed:

CF offered 3Gb for £56
BRSK offered 2Gb for £55

Which one would you go for?

its a no brainer.
 
That's a different argument though. The existence of a 3Gb service for £56 in London doesn't mean all other ISP packages that are more expensive than £18.66 per gigabit suddenly become bad value for money, it just means they are not the cheapest. If someone is convinced that they *need* a 2Gbps+ symmetric internet connection then £55 is good value for money.

YouFibre will give you 8Gbps for £99.99, does that make Community Fibre's 3Gb product poor value for money?

Previously on the 1Gbps using FQ_CoDel in Opnsense was getting an A+ rating.

I have now upgraded to the 2Gbps service also, at the same time switching to a Unifi UDM Pro. Am waiting for an SFP+ to RJ45 adapter, but for now this is my result - Bufferbloat Grade A.

Will test again once I can leverage the 2Gbps speed, but happy so far given that SQM is not possible/recommended for connections >300Mbps on the UDMP.

BRSK dropped off the TP-Link EX820v router they provide for the 2Gbps, so may try setting that up for a test when I have an empty house.
 
Inqaz considering upping from the 1gig but on all honesty it's too much hassle changing my mesh setup

id rather go direct from ont to mesh

Now with the Betternet2000 service - Bufferbloat Grade A

Happy with these results I think, was a bit worried that with the UDM Pro only supporting/recommending SQM up to 300Mbps it might have been a step back from the Opnsense setup. It will be rare, if ever, that I saturate the full connection anyway.
 
Question on the installation, is an outside box installed? I have Plusnet FTTP with a CSP on the outside (similar to image below) and the ONT inside. Openreach cabling is in underground ducting. Interested to know how BRSK do it.

Up until now I have been stuck with VM as all others provide terrible speeds (best alternative was BT with 36MB!) and VM know that that's why they are charging me so much. BRSK is now available in my area and it would be cheaper to switch to them on their 2 gbps plan than what I am currently paying for a 500MB with Virgin so I think I am going to do it

I’ve been on them for 2 years in Stockport now and they’re great
