City Fibre

Thank you. Yes that's also the kind of thing I wanted to know. How considerate they are with property when making the channels for the cables. Are they gonig to do a sensible and tidy job or just the quickest easiest method.

Could they make a channel along the pavement or would it always come straight onto property (digging along a whole driveway). I should probably get a photo to give proper context.

I don't mind leaving the Openreach box, it'll sit behind a cabinet/shelves anyway. Just thinking of the City Fibre installer would ask to remove it.

That I have no idea sorry, my install was from a pole, so the cable met the building high up, and its pinned going down the external wall and sideways a bit to the entry point. Other side of entry point is the ONT.

Wanted to ask this question several weeks ago but only just got the time to do so.

Question is... anyone on no one noticed when signing into WiFi on your mobile that it says connecting to EE WiFi!! Once connected and you do a speed test its fine.

Short version is the Airband rep was out of date with his info. When I asked at point of order, I was told Velop, which is apparently what they used to hand out, after 6+ hours in a car, I turned up to find a bloke with a Nokia Wifi Beacon 2 complaining about the foot thick walls - the same walls we had during the half arsed survey he did that basically consisted of him taking a photo of one end of the house. The Nokia is basic and annoying, I have significantly better kit in the 'spare' router pile, so it's days are numbered, but in fairness other than the crappy UI, it's actually not put a foot wrong yet.

BTW Airband offer symmetrical connections now, and will re-provision for free without it effecting your contract. Just asked mine to re-provisioned to 900/900.

Thanks for the heads up, the uplink at this property doesn't really get used other than remote CCTV viewing, but i’ll be putting some off-site backup/automation kit in over Christmas.

Had no issues for a long time. Funny enough Wednesday I spot a openreach contractor van outside the house parked across two spaces including the mrs disabled bay. Round the back of houses with ladders and then mucking about in the fibre access pit out the front that is only for our city fibre and low and behold since then speeds down of 30 to 60mb, Uploads fine at 800ish but still far to coincidental. Speeds direct to ont to rule out equipment. Wondering what the openreach contractor numpties been doing.

As a previous ambassador of No One Internet, I can’t recommend them anymore.


When I signed up to them in 2023, they were excellent at helping me resolve a long term issue I’d had trying to get broadband through Cityfibre.



Unfortunately, they were bought out by Home Telecom who are abysmal - think Virgin Media level incompetence.


I’m in the process of trying to leave due to a change of property, and can’t get them to acknowledge my notice of intent at all.



Would absolutely avoid for anyone thinking of going with them, as I know a few did on here after the great experience I’d had prior.

Yayzi have just implemented traffic shaping short term between 5pm and 10pm. Knowing something of the lead times for port capacity upgrades with CF and the paperwork required, I guess it was inevitable as they were adding hundreds per day last I knew.

We’re excited to share that we’re in the final stages of an incredible network upgrade that will bring huge benefits for you! As we work closely with CityFibre to transition our connections to the new network, we’re making sure everything is perfectly set up for an even better experience.

To ensure a smooth transition, we’ll be applying some temporary traffic shaping during peak hours (between 5pm and 10pm). This will help maintain strong connections and keep latency low as we complete the upgrade. Rest assured, this is a short-term measure, and we’ll keep you updated with our progress every step of the way.

Once finished, this upgrade will deliver lower latency, improved peering, and a smoother overall experience. It’s a big step forward for Yayzi, and it will futureproof our network to support the rapid growth we’re experiencing—so you can expect even better service going forward!

We truly appreciate your continued patience and support as we work to bring you the best network experience possible.

Thank you for being part of this exciting journey!

Kind regards,

Yayzi Network Operations Team

Only been with no one for a few months. Only 2 issues with them so far 1st was not receiving my 1st bill I had to phone them to tell them about it. 2nd issue wasn't really a problem sorted in 5 minutes, the router wouldn't let me set 2.4 and 5Ghz channels separately I couldn't work it out and all I had to do was turn WiFi mesh off inside the router the service has worked perfectly fine.

Still thinking of getting my own router just can't make my mind up on which one to get. The flint 2 is the front runner for now but by the time I make my mind up the flint 3 will be out.

That is....a joke. Do CityFibre plan on destroying their business by ensuring their ISP partners all have terrible reputations?
