My ISP uses the national product, its probably not affecting my part of the country.
AAISP havent even registered it on their status log, so I wonder how big of an issue it is.

Well I got the flint 2 installed updated to latest firmware, things were working fine plugged it into the 2.5g port was getting over 950 down and up rebooted router and now I am only getting 100mb windows is telling me my aggregated link speed 100Mbps but device is set to 5.0Gbps full duplex!!
Also in the Network port management on WAN/LAN1 in the flint 2 it says Negotiated Network Port Rate 100Mbps with no option to change it

Finally got it back to 2.5 but something is up with this ethernet port on my MSI x870e tomahawk, this is the 1st time it's done it with me it just died and I had to clear cmos to get it working again.
Not out of contract with No One till November but used the OTS to trigger a switch today to Aquiss, failed on the automatic switch attempt but Martin the MD of Aquiss replied to the ticket raised stating he's manually been able to do it (came as a pleasant surprise)
Stuck with 900 for now as won't need the ONT changing but may upgrade later to 2500 as it's available in my area.

Been stuck with 80/20 through Sky for some time now and was really pleased to see City Fibre in my street in May. For some reason unknown to the bloke doing the work, the path leading to my house and my neighbours (as well as rear entrance to another 3 houses) was not being done. From what I can see this is the only instance of it happening in my street. I checked the availability tool on their website and it says this:
"It looks like you live on a shared driveway. You may need to gain permission before we can connect your property to our full fibre network. Find out more below."
Which doesn't make any sense as all parts of the path the need to provide to me are public / council paths. I tried to ring them and could only get to an automated message and can't find any other way of contacting them. Anything I can do to get this resolved?

Just tried and got a bounce saying Recipient email address is possibly incorrect.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get from the "man laying fibre in the street" stage to actually being able to sign up and use the service?
I've just had to renew with Virgin a week ago after all their usual **** and zero competition in the area. Now this week, City Fibre are digging up my road up installing stuff. I'm wondering if I should cancel Virgin within the cool off period and pay stupid amounts for 1-2 months service out of contract rather than end up with some huge early termination fee (2 year contract).

Your likely looking at up to 6 months before you'll be able to order services.
CF’s contractors lay the fiber, its then tested and any remedial work carried out, after that, it will be re-tested and assuming it passes, handed back over as RFS. Once the database is updated, you can order. The RFS status tends to happen in significant chunks, not street by street, so if you are early in that phase, you will have to wait much longer than the people who are done last.
I am fairly sure we are an edge case but it was 14 months

I had a few months in my head but it looks like I'll be sticking with Virgin for the time being then. Sad times!
Switched over successfully, No One / Home Telecom connection dropped around 4 am, 9am got email from Aquiss stating service live. Need to finish setting router up when I get home from work i.e. get IPV6 enabled.

We’ve had 1gbps from Zen Internet (infrastructure laid by city fibre…twice as they messed it up the first time) and have been super happy. Barely a blip in the service in almost three years.
Quite a few colleagues have virgin media - if I had a pound for every time one of them has said “my internet is playing up” I could pay off the mortgage!

National is basically an MPLS pseudowire from Fex To handover point, only a few of the ISPs actually pick up locally (mostly voda, TT, zen, some guys in the Scotland area).
Generally national first is the play for most ISPs now.
