BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

Got an email from Open Reach that they'll be starting the FTTP works on our road in March of this year - so hopefully means it's available for us from around April/May.

Only negative is that our existing broadband deals expire in January so we'll need to renew temporarily and then see what we can do from there for upgrading. We also have two lines currently and the plan was once we have access to FTTP we'd move back to just having a single line - so it might just be a case of swallowing the excessive 'out of contract' monthly costs for a few months. My only worry is that if Open Reach say March, do they actually mean October...

They usually done it very quick if it was overhead poles and underground chambers. More likely it all done within 7-10 days.
 
"Most" ISPs do not do contract buy-outs, some of them offer it during promotional periods.

Vodafone for example will give you up to £200 back if you take a 500Mbps or faster service from them - https://www.vodafone.co.uk/broadband/switch-and-save - but your costs with VM up until November are unlikely to be lower than £200.

Also if your VM service is reasonably reliable and you aren't in a congested area, changing from their 500/50 plan to a Vodafone 550/75, or Gig1 to 1000/115 is not going to make a huge difference other than a bit of a latency drop.
