They have congestion and latency issues in quite a lot of areas.

That’s not been my experience. We started off on a mixture of Vodafone and Virgin Media for home office users and we then transitioned into Zen and now Vodafone City Fibre where they have it available. It’s cheap and it works. And you get a free static IP address on request. We are on Vodafone Business which might make a difference but I don’t think so.
 
We've had BT for over 16 years and had Fibre900 Halo3+ fitted August 2023for £48 a month , we had been testing a BT trail of the IP TV full package FOC for the last 20 months and got an email early Nov to say trail ending if you want to carry on it will be £80 or you can cancel . So I rang to cancel and all was well until I got an email later that day stating recontract new cost £73 WTF , on the phone I get "that is wrong new contract not needed we will do a revert" . Few days pass no word call again revert denied will try again , a week passes no word guess what revert denied again .

I called the complaints line asking whats going on apparerntly it was an offer when I took out full fibre and we can't do anything , agent then said your in your 14 days cooling off just go to a new surplier which I have :rolleyes:

The engineer who installed mine took it down. I also removed the master socket myself which was unused for years so the engineer used the same drill hole for the fibre cable.

Openreach chap asked me if I had any intention of using the copper again and I said no so he took it away externally I then ripped out the rest inside. I was expecting it to stay as the neighbours did, really they should be pulling it down when ever they put a fibre connection in to save the coming back to do it later or more likely leaving it there forever!
 
Vodafone IPv6 appears to be rolling out.

Openreach guy said they've just finished the FTTP setup and it should be ready to order next week, finally! Hopefully they're actually right this time, the other one I spoke to said September

Still says 330 Mbps on demand and "FTTP is not available." - "The exchange is not in a current fibre priority programme". The Openreach guy I spoke to lives in the village though so hopefully he wouldn't lie to get rid of me :cry:
 
My father is moving from BT FTTP but been told he can't use the WiFi phones BT provided on the new service. Is this true? Can they not be repurposed (settings changed) for use on a different Digital Voice / VOIP service?
 
They aren't Wi-Fi, they are DECT. They will work on a DECT base as standard GAP compatible handsets but you only get the very basic features.
 
Question for people that use BT FTTP with their own router? (i.e. I use it with pFsense) Has anyone found a way to get digital voice working with it without having to use the smart hub?
 
Someone on Thinkbroadband definitely has but it involves a patched version of a PPPoE server and the Smart Hub authenticating to that.
 
think fttp might be finally arriving for me soon hoping anyway, checking https://bidb.uk/ I noticed for my road it came up as planned / granted dated this week and I saw them working on the phone poles with thick cables and poles being left with big roll of cable ready to install, the pole closest to me hasnt but poles before and after has ?

having been with cable 20+ years I cant fault the service but would love the option to jump on better deals offering 100mb+ my only option with that is only Virgin
